The NASDAQ has lost over 6% since the start of the month. Even with that negative return, a few stocks are swimming against the tide and have made big gains since the beginning of June. We can define 'big' as anything over 10% using stocks now trading over $5 with 90 day volume greater than 300,000. The big gappers were filtered out leaving this impressive group.
