The company should do 200-225 this year, earn 80-83 cents, and it has a P/E of 3.9 with a market cap of $45 million. In time, it can have a big run. I bought some, and to me as a technical trader, I think a move above $3.30-$3.40 will ignite this stock for a move back to $4 quickly, then perhaps $6 or so. Nice risk/reward in this lower range.

When these stocks go, they are hard to grab, so you have to be involved with some beforehand. Buy at $3.30-$3.40. Stop would be $2.75. First target $4.20. Second target $6.
