Government funding also expires on the same date. Then we get to do the same dance all over again.

Investors in Camber Energy Inc. (NYSEAMERICAN: CEI) have roared back Thursday, more than doubling the stock’s price at its intra-day high of $1.88.

Vinco Ventures Inc. (NASDAQ: BBIG) announced an acquisition earlier in the morning, and the stock got a nice boost.
