One of the rumors states that this stock will be named by the leading stock advisory service as one of its "top picks." This service is widely followed by mutual funds and institutional money managers. These investors have portfolios that mimic recommendations of this service. Their naming of the stock should lead to additional demand for the shares. Shares are heading higher in a bullish "cup & handle" and are expected to move higher in this formation. The stock has a 52-week trading range of $5.48 - $11.06. Shares last traded at $10.59. Should you decide to take a position, wait for the morning volatility to wear off and use a stop-loss of $10.06 (five percentage points below your purchase price.) Be sure to use a limit order and not a market order. Keep in mind that our price target is 10% higher than your purchase price.
