    9$ zone seems reasonable solid ground; may worth a play there

    $IRDM stock price has now pulled back to the level it was when I first mentioned this stock. The low was March 1st at $7.80. Current pattern seem to be a flat channel with lows around 9.85 and highs around $10.60. Last two days two green candles on increased volume could this be a breakout?
    So what are the fundamentals. Iridium are launching a modern constelation of satellites that will number about 160. Each launch contains 10 satellites. They have launched 10 satellites so far and 10 are due to launch on June 25th the day before earnings making trading then complicated. Then launches due in August, October and December. So by the end of the year they will have 50 satellites in orbit.
    They have been using Spacex for launches and as the reader of this will know SpaceX have been launching reused and therefore cheaper rockets so we should see gains through reduced launch costs.
    The ATP is currently 12.60 and is rising so look out for dips worth watching and doing your own DD

    nice breakout on this one!

    Iridium beats Street 3Q forecasts

    Highly recommend Iridium Communications to hold all of 2019 (IRDM). As of Jan 7th, 2019, all satellites and 9 orbiting spares should be in place. They will not only provide 100% worldwide satphone coverage, but broadband internet as well. They are partnered with Amazon AWS, giving them worldwide coverage as well. They host Aireon onboard, a private company that will direct airliners by satellite, with control towers as redundant backup in high traffic areas. FLYLT is also onboard, giving a sat based airliner monitor and also a "black box" function. ExactEarth onboard will track ships worldwide. HRS will provide our military with communications worldwide. GOGO will provide worldwide local TV and movies for business class on airliners.

    Appears there was some big money buying this last Fryday. Good risk reward in here with a stop under Monday's low.

    Daily HLC bars:

    The point and figure gives a price projection to 39.50 on the base count. A couple more columns in the re-accumulation trading range and it could be ready to move out.

    One of the strong performers this year that is up YTD.

    Prior to ER, the year's high was $42. It pumped past that on ER, and has spent all month accumulating above $44 even. This stock is holding up post-ER.
