It looks like the stock is on a resistance threshold around $ 9.30- $ 9.50.I will start accumulating.

I think it investors taking profits.

The company does a very poor job of informing investors on a successful quarter.

The fifth trucking company in the US has a great price right now - I think by the end of the year it will reach $ 15 but it still lags far behind the other prices of the big trucking companies which are between $ 35 and $ 130.

Up 22% after earnings report.
