BNK - the darling of day traders -Not too big not too small - Once the SP broke above 5 bucks quite some months back BNK was ripe for day trading.
Lots of liquidity - yet small enough market cap- that a fairly large number of buys and sells of 5000-10000 -20000 bucks could create the momentum (up or down) - to make some nice day trading money.
This 'play' is especially relatively risk free during the weeks between company news announcements. Sooner or later it will come to an abrupt end - potentially costly for those on the wrong side of a trade - whenever the company makes a major announcement (buyout or greatly improved PP etc)
By the way - I'm not necessarily against this sort of day trading - its all part of the game after all - and I confess to doing it myself at times.
I am simply presenting a possible scenerio for the sort of pattern we have seen for some time.
