I had same reservations as you before I bought my first Ecobee3. I probably read same negative reviews as you. However the thermostat worked very well for me, without all the issues that I've read. I bought two more over the year. In t

I have 3 Ecobee3 thermostats at home and in general very pleased with them. The only issues I had - from time to time they loose connection to remote sensors (reconnect back without me doing anything) and once a thermostat got stuck on heat

There is research [1] that points out that cash hoarding is in a sense an opportunity: with cash you can get better M&A deals, be better prepared to jump in on new technology, etc. Other investments compete with this opportunity. -- [1]

You are talking about spot market prices, not wholesale power prices. Most of the wholesale prices are established in forward markets (several months to a day ahead) and I don't remember ever seeing them negative. So following your log
