Recon Technology Posts Q3 48% Revs Increase, Trimmed Loss.
We're heading back to $3 soon!
Gap up on monday. After hours it closed green.
With out news confirming new contracts RCON is likely to stay a heavy swing stock. If you currently have a profit the safest way to play it is simply to take your base out and ride FREE ON BOARD shares. If you have the stomach for it hold for real news. Or sell all now and buy back down near the $2 level if no news comes and start praying again.
Another possible jump with RCON tommorrow?
Trying to decide whether to hold out for more or sell now.
Any recommendations?
RCON- Alerted today on the GoodFellas board before it moved up.

Didn't find any news - so must be rising on expectation of news.
Maybe - just a little bit
This is what I was thinking. More deals are on the way.
Explains yesterdays bounce most likely. Waiting for more real contract news myself.
I don't have a link. But, this is what it showed up on my TDA screen.
Recon Technology
Shares of Recon Technology (NASDAQ: RCON), the Beijing provider of hardware, software, and on-site services to companies in the petroleum mining and extraction industry, rose 6% Thursday on twice the average daily volume.
Rumors of a contract with Halliburton (NYSE: HAL) surfaced on Thursday. A spokesperson for Halliburton was not able to confirm the contract award. A Recon representative could not be reached for comment.
Recon Technology closed at $2.28 on Thursday, trading as high as $2.59 .
grawsha - You got a link for that rumor?
Yeah... I will do some charting tonight to see what the full TA story is. Based on that, I may lower my buy price.
And you may get it filled. This pullback is as you say - overdone or there is something going on we don't know yet.
I have a buy in at $2.01. This pullback is a little over done, but I am not going to let it go to waste. Sell me your shares!
It that catagory - I'm looking for something that reduces the price i have to pay at the PUMP.
The news yesterday about KS pipeline getting approval should be good catalyst for the energy sector.
Yup! I am holding long too with sells way above just in case of an extreme spike. No way I am selling in the $3's or $4's
Nice open today YES -- BUT I'm looking at RCON to be a hold till at least JUNE/JULY area. So I'm more interested in where it will be then. Should be higher by all my DD , just can't really pin it down. Depends on PRs to come between now and then.
Good move. Next PR should comeout pretty soon to detail last deal.
Yup have to be diversified! RCOn looks to be a winner so I am a little more overweight than I normally would be! Looking good ;-D GLTY
Don't know about you but I'm somewhat diversified so one stock's action is not going to make or break me. Lots of potential 10+ baggers out there long term. Short term (this year) RCON is a good hold. Fell sorry for those in TVIX at present for sure.
Could be more consolidation until a PR. People waiting on the sidelines could miss the boat though. When this starts moving it will move very fast! Personally I think this will consolidate a little more and then continue the uptrend without any news. The recent news alone should be enough to move this to much higher levels.
We shall see.
Probably more consolidation till the next PR. Currently RCON is below book valve which should make it easier to hold longer term.
GM RECON! What will today bring? More consolidation or will the uptrand continue? Stay tuned
Panicked? Nope. All we did was bounce off the 5DMA. No typo, 5 day moving average. That is the beauty of charts, it helps keep everything in perspective.

I knew going into this it was not a trade for me but a long term investment. The forward P/E here looks like a joke at this point. This is going higher, no doubt. People can try to trade this if they want, but I'd rather stay long this one.
I do have a high sell order in the $11 range. If we hit that short term, I will sell. Otherwise I am holding this 1+ year. RCON could be $30 in 1-2 years.
Well if you haven't PANICED and sold by now your probably not going to.
Golden Cross as soon as Monday!
http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=RCON&p=D&b=5&g=0&id=p31282601120
Perfect day set up! Open lower and close green, making a white candlestick. Candlestick chartists will see this as a confirmation the uptrend is intact.
Buy signal!
Personally I don't trust what I see in the PM or AM trades unless its in the 100s of thousands of share trades as any kind of indicator. Could just be MMs trading among themselves to infuence the market.
So dumb why are people giving away such cheap shares pre-market. I wish I had money to burn
Meh closed down 10%, I'll take it. Good consolidation. Everyone expecting a deep retrace must be bitterly disappointed!
Good question! A squeeze would be VERY easy!!
For today I'm wondering if some of those YAHOO posters may be right in that an MM is setting up some shorters for a squeeze. Do't knw for sure but with less than 4M shares O/S it would be easy to do.
My first position was $1.30, my highest buy is $3.36 which I got earlier today. This is all looking very good! I have my sell GTC set much, much higher. I have time and can wait. It can hit tomorrow, next month or later this year. I am set! Somehow I have the feeling it will hit sooner than later
Overwieght or Overboard? LOL
Normally a bad idea. But if your in deep now might as well stick it out. No guarantees in life but ODDs here are in your favor only can't tell yet when PAYDAY arrives.
I've gone overweight RCON!
That was the IDEA
Wildly undervalued here!
QUICK and DURTY EPS ESTIMATE
If per PR they are paid 3.3 Billion RMB or $522.5M per year to do 1100 wells and after ALL EXPENCES they keep only 2%
2% of $522.5 = $10.45M Profit
$10.45M divided by a rounded 4M shares O/S = $2.61/share
Assuming a 5X EPS for PPS = $13.06
Low ball figure here but also keep in mind they have to earn it frist.

RECON TECHNOLOGY LTD- NASDAQ:RCON
ABOUT RECON:
Recon Technology, Ltd. (Nasdaq: RCON) is a leading developer and marketer of automated oilfield services and products that enhance the extraction of petroleum in China. RCON markets these services and products to leading Chinese oil and gas companies, helping them increase efficiency and profitability in exploring, extracting, producing, processing, refining and transporting petroleum products from the nation's largest producing oil fields.
* Recon's automated systems monitor and collect oil production data remotely and in real-time, a recent industry advance that helps maximize extraction levels, minimize impurities in extracted petroleum, and significantly lowers production costs.
* Recon is an emerging leader in developing and applying the fracturing technology necessary to extract the abundant shale gas reserves in China. Shale, a clean-burning fuel, provides China with a vital and long-sought alternative to the massive toxic pollutants resulting from burning coal for energy production. Working closely with Baker Hughes and other companies, Recon is making rapid progress in liberating these shale gas reserves and facilitating their transport to China's major population centers.
* Recon's primary customers are CNPC (SEHK: 0135) and Sinopec (NYSE: SNP), two of China's three leading state-owned oil and gas companies. Recon has conducted automation projects for 80 percent of these companies' oil and gas fields.
* Recon maintains its leading-technology status via long-established relationships with many of China's foremost R&D institutions, research academies and petroleum industry labs, allowing the company to rapidly develop advanced products and technologies for oil and gas exploration sectors.
* Recon's proprietary technology is based on eight software copyrights, twenty-two product patents and four pending patents, giving the company a powerful intellectual property position. RCON is the first Chinese non-state owned oil and gas service company to be listed on Nasdaq.
INDUSTRY:
China is the world's largest consumer of petroleum products, largest importer of petroleum and fourth-largest producer of petroleum. In the last 20 years, China's demand for oil has more than tripled, while domestic production levels have increased only modestly. China has been a net importer of petroleum since 1983, creating a strong national goal of meeting as much of the country's domestic oil demand as possible.
Most oil fields in China, however, have now entered into the tertiary stage of oil recovery, at which oil extraction becomes increasingly difficult and inefficient. Thus, the demands for new technologies to improve oil extraction efficiency and reduce its cost are at an all-time high. Among these technologies is a new generation of real-time automated systems that dramatically increase the efficiency of extracting and refining petroleum products.
China also continues to face a massive and worsening air pollution issue due to a heavy reliance on coal for energy production. One solution could be the development of domestic Chinese natural gas supplies – which are clean-burning -- with shale gas being the most plentiful. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) recently determined that China has the world’s largest reserves of recoverable shale gas – approximately 1,115 trillion cubic feet. Unfortunately, extracting this gas and transporting it to needed locales has been an exceedingly slow and technologically daunting process. This problem is borne out by 2012 government data, showing 67 percent of China’s power generation emanating from burning coal and only 3 percent from natural gas.
Chinese government authorities, however, are increasing support and funding for technologies designed to facilitate the extraction of shale gas, with the objective of bringing it up to account for at least 8 percent of the nation’s power generation by 2030.

BEIJING, July 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Recon Technology, Ltd. (NASDAQ:RCON), ("Recon" or the "Company"), a China-based independent solutions integrator in the oilfield service, electric power and coal chemical industries, today announced the completion of the first stage of its construction of a comprehensive disposal treatment project (the "Project") in Yumen city, Gansu province through its 51% subsidiary, Gansu BHD Environmental Technology Co., Ltd ("Gansu BHD"), which focuses on oilfield sewage treatment and oily sludge disposal projects. As previously disclosed by the Company, Gansu BHD purchased a 50 year land use right for a 26,235 square meter property to build the Project to serve the oilfield sewage treatment needs of Yumen Oilfield Company, China's first petroleum production base and a PetroChina Co., Ltd. ("PetroChina") subsidiary. The Project, which will have an annual processing capacity of 60,000 tons of oily waste, is the only such treatment facility located in Yumen city. As regulations prohibit the removal of such oily sludge from Gansu province, Gansu BHD is optimistic about the business opportunities for the Project, although it lacks a long-term agreement with Yumen Oilfield.
At this first stage of the Project, the construction of the bases and the major body of plants have been completed. The next stage will involve equipment installation and testing. In addition, because of the Company's implementation of improved project design, it estimates the total investment in the Project to decrease from RMB 100 million to RMB 40 million. The Company expects the Project to be operational by the end of the calendar year 2018 and to generate annual revenues for Gansu BHD of more than RMB 50 million, assuming full capacity.
Management Commentary
Mr. Guangqiang Chen, director and CTO of Recon Technology, commented, "We are pleased with our progress on our comprehensive disposal treatment project. Our search for new efficiencies has contributed to a 60% decrease in the expected investment in the project, from RMB 100 million to RMB 40 million. We have completed the construction of the bases and the major body of the plants as we prepare to install our equipment and begin testing. We expect the disposal treatment facilities to be operational by the end of this calendar year."
Mr. Chen continued, "Given the launch of China's new environmental law and increased enforcement of this and other environmental laws, we believe Recon is well positioned to innovate in a changing industry landscape that has given rise to demand for new and more efficient treatment methodologies. The oily waste produced from drilling, transportation and refining in the Yumen oilfield system remains a persistent issue and our project through Gansu BHD is a cutting-edge attempt to resolve this issue."
BEIJING, July 30, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Recon Technology, Ltd. (NASDAQ:RCON), ("Recon" or the "Company"), a China-based independent solutions integrator in the oilfield service, electric power and coal chemical industries, today announced that Future Gas Station (Beijing) Technology, Ltd ("FGS"), of which Recon indirectly owns 8%, has officially launched smart vending machines to further expand its retail business.
Management Commentary
Mr. Yin Shenping, CEO of Recon Technology, Ltd commented, "We are very pleased that FGS has launched its smart vending machines as planned to continue expanding its new retail business. With the further liberalization of China's domestic gas market, major oil sales companies are transforming, developing and innovating the country's gas stations. As part of this evolution, the development of the non-oil segment of gas stations has become a strategic issue for major oil companies. We believe that FGS' smart vending machine model can help China National Petroleum Corporation ("CNPC") quickly improve its non-oil-product segment business development and facilitate the integration of new innovations for gas stations."
Mr. Yang Song, the founder of FGS, said, "Smart vending machines are a key component of our development and advancement. Our algorithms and DT fueling app allow users to directly select the products in the cabinet that they choose to purchase. After closing the door, the mobile application automatically completes the sale, either by debiting the user's account or by deducting accumulated rewards points. Currently, there are 4 sets of smart vending machines that can be used normally in the CNPC's location, with users opening the vending machine doors 2,500 times and placing more than 1,500 orders since the roll-out started approximately two weeks ago. In view of this early success, FGS plans to launch smart vending machines at more gas stations and office areas."
Mr. Yang Song continued, "In comparison to other existing unmanned shelf models, our smart vending machine sales can be automatically settled without the customer scanning the product barcode, which greatly enhances the customer's experience, saves the customer time and improves sales efficiency. This model on the requirements of the gas station business model, which prioritizes increasing the revenue of gas station products and shortening the customer's stay time. In order to encourage users to consume, we have also introduced a settlement system for rewards points redemption and cross-product category coupons. CNPC in Zhejiang has a total of 450 gas stations, including city stations, high-speed stations, and village stations. In our early rollout, we expect to cover all the city stations, some rural high-speed stations, a coverage rate reaching 50%, or approximately, 225 gas stations, with roll-out order based on station popularity. In the future, we will further cooperate with third-party companies to improve the efficiency of our reward points system and user activity, and strive to optimize retail consumption for gas station customers."
