With COMS the volatility is so high that even when the trend is going higher, the intraday swings are so great as to easily shake everyone's confidence in the underlying trend. COMS is a very difficult stock to trade. Its best just to take profits when you have them and look for reentry again. COMS gives away plenty of opportunities to get back in too at good prices. I think earnings will propel the stock for the short term, just have to stomach the volatility.
