CC,
Stocks aren't always rationale in the short term. Greed and fear dictate where stocks trade in the short term, and it looked like fear gripped this stock today. At one point the spread was almost $1 as people dumped stock on the bid without regard for where the offer was. This is more indicative of a bottom than a top. I am bruised but not out, and I have no doubt that GUMM will trade significantly higher than today's close in the future. I will not put a time frame on this because nobody can predict stock prices with any degree of certainty or consistency. Technical analysis is a good tool for reducing risk, but it can not be used to predict whether people will buy or sell stocks in the future. IMO, the reason that GUMM has gotten to this low point is because the company is not promoting itself. Don't read promotion as hype. There is nothing wrong with telling investors, analysts, fund managers, etc what you are doing and where you are going. Since the company hasn't been promoting itself, the volume has been low. The shorts took advantage of this and successfully moved the stock down to a point where margin selling hit it. This is a risk of the stock market, but it shouldn't be confused with the fair value of a company. Anyone who takes an honest look at this company's target markets, products, customers, joint ventures, sales, and earnings potential should conclude that the stock is worth much more than $60 million or even $100 million. |
