Microturbines

are the business of Capstone MicroTurbine (CPST) and it is not just and alternative energy concept, the company is showing some impressive growth. Second Quarter Revenue of $7.2 Million Increased 145% from Same Period Last Year and 28% from Prior Quarter You can see the full earnings report from November 8 HERE



The monthly chart shows a longer term consolidation and big moves often come from such periods of low volatility.


The shorts have been steadily covering since but maybe they will panic with the remaining 10 million shares?



The stock needs a catalyst here, especially with such a weak market. On Monday evenings show, Cramer is supposed to reveal some of his "green plays". In November 05, he mentioned the stock and it ran from 2.50 to 4.50 in just a couple OF DAYS Now the stock is $1.25. Will he mention it again and motivate buyers to pushi it past short term resistance at 1.30 which would pressure the shorts?



I own a little bit (bought some on Friday) but will wait for a push past resistance at 1.30 before I establish a real position. Once it clears 1.30 I dont see any reason to risk more than a dime.
