The last time I blogged Coates International, Ltd. (COTE) was to tell traders to short them (Read it here).  And, I was right.  I liked the company  fundamentally, but thought that the chart was setting it up for a fall.  COTE blazed a trail across the markets back in July of ’09 almost tripling in value from around 40 cents to $1.15.  In my earlier blog, I said the following:  “The stock might be due for a correction in the near future.  Any kind of reasonable “support” for the stock is around the 50 cent mark….so, it could fall a long way!”

Three days later, the stock was at 53 cents! A penny stock, once again!

Now, the chart is turned around.  The stock price is depressed and I think that COTE should be watched for a bounce in the near term (and it could be the next hot stock if they start landing some contracts).

Let’s talk about the company:  COTE is the creator, developer and manufacturer of the patented Coates spherical rotary valve system (CSRV System) for use in various piston-driven internal combustion engines.  It is a technology that has been under development for over 15 years and may now be “ready for its closeup”.  The company is claiming that they have created the internal combustion engine of the future.  They claim significant benefits compared to the engines of today: Increased Engine Efficiency, Lower Emissions, Reduced Lubrication Requirements, Cheaper to Manufacture, and Adaptable to Multiple Fuel Types.  Here is a link to a very informative article done on COTE by Industry Online.  I am not an automotive engineer, but it sounds like COTE has something in their CSRV technology.

With the income of a Canadian sale for $10MM ($8 MM of which remains a receivable), its Chinese manufacturing initiatives and several Beta sites that are under negotiation, it might be a good time to put COTE on your trading radar.

The chart looks good for gains!

• COTE is trading near its 52-week low ($0.28);
• Watch to see if this level acts as support for the stock…any break below 32 cents should be watched to see if a new bottom develops;
• The MACD is drifting….with good news and some buying, it could turn bullish very quickly.

Another factor to consider about COTE that gives me comfort is the insider ownership.  I like the fact that insiders own over 80% of the company.  COTE hasn’t been an overnight sensation.  My impression is that they have a core group of founders and executives that believe in the mission of the company and are in for the long haul.  I hope they get rewarded, because that means I will be rewarded too.  I have put COTE on my own personal trading radar with the idea of buying shares in the very near future.  I have a call in to the company and will update my blog with any intelligence I gather.

Do your due diligence!

Good luck and good trading,
