Again old news.
Basic googling shows that Honda and plug power have an experimental relationship.
May or may not go commercial .

I must say I appreciate your charting and detailed info. regards trading patterns.
Some peoples charge for the info.
Think about it. LOL
Thanks, very much,your input is very valuable and your time in getting it must be involved, but I get the gut feeling that is YOUR PLEASURE. I just love people who are passionate about what they do.
BTW even though I have apprehensions about Russia and Ukraine I am back in, I just hope that the sanctions do not affect CPST and their Russian business deals.Worried--WHO KNOWS.
My position is half of what I usually do and I have been an investment buyer of this stock and also a scalp trader.
But what holds me here is the fundamental technology.
I wish I were younger to see it's fulfillment.
The least I am doing is passing on my knowledge to my offspring.
Thanks again CaptWhizbang.
BTW share with us the how captwhizbang came up.
For me personally when I bought my first computer at BestBuy I needed a email address. I did not have it and needed to make it up. So after many tries the only thing I could come up with was gingerbread_gal and I am a guy. LOL. I said what the hell and I am still stuck with it. It is now my junk mail email. Hard to live with that over time.
Thanks again.
but i got a gut feeling that management will release news soon,just to keep the stock price from falling.
i bought in after hours and if i am right i will sell on the news.
simply because this company is mostly driven on hype.
that's how i see it.
glta
To your news release back it up.

All you need to do is goooooogle it
MR. Small the CEO of GOGO will be interviewed by Jim Cramer tonight for he wanted to respond to Viasat CEO interview just a few days ago. CRamer mentioned this on the opening bell this morning on CNBC.
Usually that should give a boost to a stock mentioned on Mad Money (mostly short lived).
Anyway the exposure can not hurt and Mr. Small interviews well.
Nypete
Seen it over and over.
Please take heed.
If you didn't read this piece, do so now.
Yes you may get a run on news release,but that's the time to sell.
http://seekingalpha.com/article/2097873-why-the-fuel-cell-bubble-has-popped?source=etrade
Maybe I am premature but I am out on a trade 4.5%
Bought early am and sold after break out on a huge stake.
Still hold my longer term buy from yesterday.
Happy. Happy.
Capt.
I did take a position at 2.35 today,although 2.27 was available to me earlier,but I still have to consider the Ukrainian situation and what sanctions could mean to CPST revenues derived from there.
So we shall see.
Nypete
Agreed. I came close to exit door just before CC and didn't pull the trigger when the descent started during the call and just before.
But knowing they have the most airlines signed up and the marketing savvy over ViaSat,Panasonic Avionics and row44 GOGO should lead the pAck in this growing service.
GOGO is now priced nearer the lower end of it's price range and becomes more attractive as prices decline.
My strategy is sell on strength one stock to buy on weakness another. I am averaging down and accumulating GOGO as an investment.
For those who read this go google "wifi service on airlines " and see how often GOGO is mentioned over the competition . The public wants wifi in the air and the leader is GOGO.
I know their ATG service is slower then AirSat Ka band, but 2015 GOGO will have Ka also and Airsat basically has JetBlue and United on a limited number of planes,GOGO over 2000 planes .
Go to www.gogoair.com and check their offerings out. New services coming in 2014 such as SMS text and talk and GOGO vision in flight entertainment.
Enough said.
I think we need to wait and see what,if any sanctions are going to be.
I don't have a clue. Certainly the EU,since they are dependent on Russia for energy will be reluctant to do much to aggravate Putin, so if Obama has the cojones which I doubt then American companies may be restricted doing business in Russia. More then likely the sanctions will be addressed through the banking system,visas,confiscation of property,isolation and other such measures to get the oligarchs to cave and put pressure on Putin to restrain his ambitions for a new Soviet sphere of influence.
Only time will tell and I am totally out of CPST because of the uncertainty.
Got cash waiting for a new entry points ,hopefully lower.
GLTA
You need to watch the action to determine the probabilities.
As of now the path of least resistance is down with minor support at or near 7.
I am neutral and will only buy on further weakness.
Do not forget the Ukraine weekend is coming up.
Here is a decent article on Fuel Cells.
Read all the comments.
http://seekingalpha.com/article/2086463-what-plug-power-fuelcell-mean
Go google Vitasat then Gogo.
Gogo is much more connected to the publics need znd they have the lion's share of equipped airlines.
Also the pricing for Vitasat is not competitive to GOGO.
Also GOGO will be deploying Ka sat this year and Ku next yesterday.
I added more on this decline,came close to getting out my original position on early sell off, but decided to hear CC. My bad, but am not really concerned for the demand by the flying public is there and GOGO has the lion's share of this space.
Back to Russia potential economic sanctions over Ukraine.
First half out at 2.32 and today rest at 2.19 (little late on that exit).
If Cremia goes back to Russia we may get a chance to get back into CPST much lower.
I'd rather be in cash and TVIX this weekend.
Best thing to do is not listen to forums like this one on PLUG.
It is the epitome of useless information,full of rah,rah bravado and ignorance.
You could try out your public library and find some foundational books that have a reputation. I also suggest you go visit Traderslibrary.com for a full selection of books on trading or investing.
One of the best books that stood the test of time is Reminiscences of a Stock Operator by Jesse Livermore.
Then read all you can,do not get caught up in hype and most importunately learn how to manage a portfolio of diversified stocks. That means don't bet the farm on one sector,company or even asset class.
Be patient if you are an investor and if you want to trade you must realize that to be successful it should be a full time job, especially in the present market environment with hft,quant shops and instantaneous market reactions to news.
Trade small to keep losses small,practice using a paper trade account and figure that it will take years just to get the experience and knowledge needed to stay in the game.
If you work full time you may be better off investing and by that I mean give you investments time to be fruitful.
Take your losses quickly when hope becomes your rational for holding on to a position that is not working out and be patient with your winners.
And I want to make it clear to all the PLUG longs, I hope your dreams come true.
As far as I am concerned PLUG IS nothing more that a hyped up stock suitable for day trading only. I have to give Mr. Marsh a few more quarters to prove himself.
GLTA
Well, the 800 oclock numbers tell it all.
Since the stock showed little sign of strenght after the prelim. earnings were released. the logical bet was to the downside.
Retail is bailing now look for a small bounce.
If volume doesn't come in here the regular session will kill the price action as shorts bring this way down.
GLTA
Stock volume low,let's see what 8 o'clock action brings.
If PLUG doesn' get over 7.80 with a vengeance then likely will go back down to yesterday's lows.
Sorry, but that's how I see it.
I am neutral waiting for a chance .
Not there yet.
PLUG pre market action is weak.
Yesterday's pop from the 6 level is getting sold after earnings release.
Doesn't look good for any size able rally during regular market hours.
Read my response more carefully. I was being factious.
Fuel cells shipped in the last 11 quarters 3054- all at a loss per unit.
Seems like a far cry from your numbers.
People who post outlandish predictions should be prodded back to reality with a cattle prod.
I think you are low balling PLUG's future.
PLUG price tomorrow -100-ten minutes after earnings announcement and CEO's painting the very bright future for 100's of thousands of hydrogen fork lifts take over the global economies of the entire planet.
Right!

CPST BID 2.22 premarket
Johan31,thanks for the excerpts.
I was reading the actual interview about 730pm and immediately bought more INO before finishing the article -that was AH.
You left some of the article out so I thought I would provide a link to the whole interview here.
Thanks
BTW I am now long term on this one.I decided to stop trading this for swings.
I believe the longer term outcome is worth the wait.
http://seekingalpha.com/article/2070113-inovio-pharmaceuticals-raises-63-million-dr-j-joseph-kim-ceo-tells-us-why?source=etrade
You and I share the same path. I've been trading INO and other stocks, as well, for the usual moves both up and down that normally occur.
Sometimes I even pay up if there is good reason to.
But INO and another biotech stock I own NVAX should be held,especially going forward. For you never know when that day comes a major announcement hits the market and you just sold your last trade. Both of these stocks have a real good chance for that multi bagger.
Many years ago, I established a decent position in TASR (that had a substantial short position and sold it out for a pittance in profit.
As I remember it was near 20-went to 400- real quick and I wouldn't pay up. I'd hate to make the same here.
Anyway there are plenty of other stocks that trade in channels.
Time to be patient and see what happens. And you are quite right,Dr. Kim has the quality of a great CEO. Don't forget he has his own money invested in a big way.
Best to you.
I can't say for sure,but Fuel cell stocks are on a tear,so maybe CPST gets caught up with them. Alternate power?
I even paid up in the pre market (not my usual style). Probably because I was aware of the fuel cell stampede earlier the last few days and I resisted getting on board. Like I posted in a earlier post just bite the bullet and if it bites back pull it out, if you do you survive for another day, but if you don't not so good. LOL
Here is the paragraph I referenced in my last post.
No less worrying for Putin would be the economic sanctions the West is preparing in answer to Russia’s intervention in Ukraine. Depending on their intensity, those could cut off the ability of Russian companies and businessmen in getting western loans and trading with most of the world’s largest economies. Putin’s allies could also find it a lot more difficult to send their children to study in the West or to keep their assets in Western banks, as they now almost universally do. All of that raises the risk for Putin of a split in his inner circle and, potentially, even of a palace coup. There is hardly anything more important to Russia’s political elite than the security of their foreign assets, certainly not their loyalty to a leader who seems willing to put all of that at risk.
And what about the upside for Putin? There doesn’t seem to be much of it, at least not compared to the damage he stands to inflict on Russia and himself. But he does look set to accomplish a few things. For one, he demonstrates to the world that his red lines, unlike those of the White House, cannot be crossed.
nypete
Good read especially if you have investments in CPST.
The last few paragraphs are most revealing.
Seems like Putin may have done much damage to himself.

Latest SA article.
Author claims he is long and sold one half his position.
His concerns are real.
All depends on economic sanctions and how much Putin cares about his Western held hoard he and his cronies stashed.
I bought some at 1.70 today,but am waiting to see how this fiasco turns out.

Strong reactions in Asia and Europe over Ukraine situation. Expect sharp sell off in US market in early trading.
Best be cautious and remember Russia is a potential large market for CPST.
CPST is an industrial supplier of micro turbines, hardly diversified product mix.
Economic sanctions very possible and CPST,at best, may have delayed order fulfillment.
More likely CPST price declines today.
Average in slowly because we do not know how far this situation can go.
I personally feel very fortunate to gave sold out early last week.
I also have sanguine views for CPST future, but global contraction is a strong possibility.
Best to temper your enthusiasm.
Be safe out there.

I had sold out my entire position earlier last week.
Started to buy back a.m. Friday with 2000 shares at 1.82.
Plan on adding back,hopefully lower for the next leg up,but the turmoil has me waiting.
Even bought short term puts on Out of the money SPY puts as a hedge.
We had a decent fun since Jan.
Let's see what happens over the next few weeks.
GLTY
In the end the sheep get a hair cut and the sheep herder gets a coat.
Some people on message boards just like to show how ignorant they really are simply by posting
BS.
BS. RSI neutral on 5 day Chart Nd near 80 on both 3 month and 1year.
Let's get real. PLUG has climbed from 1 to 4.67 since Dec. 2013
BTW using the RSI independent of other indicators is just foolish without taking volume,money flow, MACD and recent price action into account. The breakout level is above 4.90 on a closing basis.
Let's see what happens next week,especially considering the macro economic forces at work like Russia and the Ukraine.
I am always amazed how prescient some of the posters are on boards such as this one.
Either it is the damn shorts that keep the price down or the sky is the limit.
You need to do some real analysis and base your perceptions and outlook on real numbers.
Please do some solid research and put the crystal ball back in the closet.
BTW I am long and have a favorable outlook for the company,but let's not forget PLUG will have to actually start earning on the bottom line before a 15 price target is plausible.
My concern today us what happens to CPST orders placed or to be placed with Russia given the recent conflict.
My guess is that CPST may be in for a correction that could be a good entry point.
I recently sold out my entire position in the high 1.80's and just before Friday's news started to repurchase at low1.70's.
Best to wait and watch for it is possible much lower prices will come about.
For world peace, I hope I am wrong.
Do more dd and you will find out it is walmart.
I am too tired right now to go back and find the sources, but I found them over the weekend.
Biotech,in green all day,not NVAX only.
No point in guessing what moves this stock.
NVAX is a long term hold based on their technology.
You can play the price fluctuations all you want and that's ok.
If you believe in NVAX tech.
Hold on.
I personally trade all my holdings,but in NVAX case, most of my position is held tight for the long term.
GLTA
It called retrace to the mean. When the greedy get cold feet and fear takes over.
Happens like clockwork especially in story stocks with no fundamentals to rely on.
When a stock price moves 100% in a day the best course of action is take your initial capital back and let the rest ride.
As soon as a retracement starts take off the rest.
Can't lose with that strategy.
