Area plays getting attentionArea plays like DEC, PNL, NKA, EAR have been attracting a lot of attention of late and that's good for future financing etc.
The companies with the proven 'ounces in the ground' are the ones which will stay up and prosper. Until then the day traders are just having a field day flitting from one play to the next day after day doing their pump and dump routines - not good for the companies they victimize in their wake.
Looking at today's trading volume on EAR tells a story. Traders have moved on from NKA which is not a bad thing entirely as it usually means a retracement to more reasonable secure levels.
