What The #$%^&*@!?

What The #$%^&*@!?

Not that I am complaining, but what is going on with VNCE?  It is starting to feel like KBIO!  On a dreadful day for the market, VNCE just went up and up on no news that I saw.




So it went up 15% over the day. And look at the spike in volume after 3 pm (bottom right). Weird right?

So this week:

Monday: $4.25 to $5.18 (volume 1.9m)
Tuesday: $5.18 to $5.80 (volume 1.6m)
Today: $5.80 to $6.67 (volume 5.1m)


It is certainly helping my Nov 15 tranche:

11/15/2015 Start Current Dividend Pct Gain R3K Gain
LCI $34.01 $38.31               -   12.6% 1.7%
SAVE $34.48 $40.42               -   17.2% 1.7%
PPC $18.98 $20.87               -   10.0% 1.7%
VEC $23.60 $24.06               -   1.9% 1.7%
VNCE $3.99 $6.70               -   67.9% 1.7%
Totals 21.9% 1.7%


So has it just become a momentum stock, that will crash and burn just as fast as it went parabolic? Or is something going on (like a LBO)?

Well, given the size of VNCE - I suspect this is a momentum play. Which will be sad if true as I have no intent to sell (darned rules!).

Here is my micro portfolio, also  nicely helped by recent VNCE move (note sstill  down 21%)..

8/28/2015 Start Current Dividend Pct Gain R3K Gain
VNCE $8.50 $6.70 $0.00 -21.2% 4.5%
ONE $1.99 $3.19 $0.00 60.3% 4.5%
TPUB $11.60 $10.40 $0.18 -8.8% 4.5%
LQDT $7.26 $7.00 $0.00 -3.6% 4.5%
PERI $2.45 $2.66 $0.00 8.6% 4.5%
Totals 7.1% 4.5%
