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.

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.

High risk, high gain, but more likely a loss.
