Stock is a bargain at current prices. Oversold and too much short selling based on negative revenue/inventory reports. Insiders accumulating at $9.41. Shorts need to cover by end of 2nd Q so that they won't be hit by stock price increase due to summer figures when they come in.
The strategy is in place. The patient will be rewarded!
Insider buying ocurred from 1/24 - 1/31. Chairman now owns over 50% of the company!!!!
What a coincidence!
Check the negative news published! Is this financial signaling to move the stock or what?
