This relates to momentum buying of uptrending stocks. What is interesting is the typical surge just before a cessation of momentum, noted in many examples of change:

Sell at the momentum surge. But sometimes a surge up day is followed by a smaller upsurge the next day, but not usually if the first upsurge was really huge - then a pullback is near.

same for downtrending especially s-8 filings. first day huge down followed by all down and last day is usually big like first day....

That may work for some people, but to me,it is a gamble. Why not buy reliable stocks with dividends, that continue on an upward climb like I do? [Smile]

Those of us who trade pennies are not concerned with slow upward movements. We are more tickled with our ability to catch a pump-n-dump wave and ride it untill the next arrives.
Ten percent in two months can never be compared to three hundred in two days.
