Up About 25% ...... in the last three trading days from $2.31 to $2.87. And for no real reason ... people just like lemmings heading for the cliff. If it keeps level here or goes up more it will be an excellent short one or two days before it goes Ex-Dividend on the 18th. I will gladly pay the $0.06 dividend to whoever buys my shorts because it will go down at least $0.20 - $0.25 on Ex-Div Date.
New list of stocks elegible for reduced margin came out today. Did ESI stay on the list or not? The list goes into effect at the opening bell January 02 2020. Better phone your broker and find out if you will be getting a margin call in the New Year.
