That briefly took shares up over $2.00 in August and September. But the news of the launch of these apps this week did very little compared to the few days in September that this one rose over $2.00 intra-day. The only $2.00+ high close came on August 26 when it closed at $2.17.
It is not that this week’s gains are bad, but they are just very muted when you start to tally everything up compared to the recent past. Here are this week’s closes with volume compared to last week:
DATE VOLUME CLOSE
OCT 6 10,152,200 $1.44
OCT 5 32,800,000 $1.49
OCT 2 5,306,700 $1.32
This morning shares are up 8% at $1.56 on about 800,000 shares, above that $1.50 target, and the 52-week trading range is $0.31 to $2.63 and average volume is about 9 million shares based on the last six week’s crazy trading patterns.
