IFCI is in the process of digesting it's recent gains. Remember that it nearly tripled since the beginning of Sept. Right now it is finding support at it's 21 day EMA (exponential moving average) which is a common trait of many strong stocks. Of more concern is the Russell 2000 index of small cap stocks, which is nearing it's 50 day EMA (down). Any stock that has any Asian exposure is getting whacked right now, so we are lucky in that regard. I wouldn't expect much upside for awhile, unless there is a very strong earnings report. The NASDAQ seems to be setting up for a nasty little correction here. If one is looking to buy, you may get a good opportunity soon...be patient.You may be able to get it intra-day in the 5's. Once this bad market blows over, IFCI should resume it's move, assuming the fundamentals are still in order. Good luck
