This is another Alternative Energy Play.

Short Term Analysis:
SATC has been riding a bullish trend since December. Making new relative highs, and following them by a short consolidation period. Right now, SATC is trading a small range between $2.6 and $3.0, with volume decreasing but still above average.

Short Term Chart:


Mid Term Analysis:
What we need on this time frame is to identify a reasonable target in case our plan is correct. We see $4.30 as the high of 2003's rally, and that is our current objective on this trade.

Mid Term Chart:


Long Term Analysis:
SATC has performed an ugly bear market from 2000 to 2003, dropping from prices above $40 in 2000 to a low of $0.36 in 2003. The reversal move was so fast that in a few months after the lowest price, SATC made the actual relative high since then at $4.30.

Long Term Chart:


We are buying SATC during what we think it's a short term consolidation period, the stock is inside a hot sector, and we expect it to breakout $3.00 at any moment, and that would be a strong short term signal (but we are buying before that).

Our Plan:
We'll buy SATC today at or near the open.

Best regards !

SATC is still consolidating below $3.00. Volume has increased yesterday, and we expect a new breakout at any moment.

We'll not set any stop price yet, so the plan is just to Hold SATC for now.

I bought some of this stock today at 2.78.  It came back up to close at 2.86.

The main reason why we bought SATC is because we expect a breakout, followed by a fast move above 3$++, the stock is consolidating on a tiny range, volume is not high but that's normal in this short term scenario.

We must wait to see this trade developing, but meanwhile we should place a stop to assure risk management here, so the new plan is:
Hold SATC with a stop @ $2.55

Best regards,

I got stopped out of this one today at 2.60, for a 6.5% loss.

I'm liking SATC chart here.  A nice rounding bottom with a mini ascending triangle breakout today. 

Many of the alternative energy stocks have been doing well lately, but SATC caught my eye today

[kslifka]

Bought SATC at 1.27.  Finished nicely even in a sharply down market.

Has some hurdles(resistance) to over-come...but the trend is up.  Time to start climbing those step.
