Monkey Throw Dart: Skip the Dip Stocks

Skip the Dip Stocks

The NASDAQ recovered some of the losses incurred last week. With approximately 65% of equities advancing today, you had a good chance of making some money just by throwing the dart blindfolded. Since last Wednesday, certainly the opposite was true...unless your favorite stocks are on the following list.

These stubborn stocks insisted on gaining every day since the middle of last week. Using a criteria of close price greater than $5, volume greater than 300k, and close greater than previous close for the last four days, with a recent upward price slope, here's the eclectic few that bucked the system and swam upstream like a mid-May King Chinook Salmon run.
