it looked like it was going to be a fader as it started coming back down after its run-up in the morning, shorted as it was flagging then got stopped out as it broke over the VWAP

yeah I had it at .21 just over the VWAP, damn thing jumped so quickly I didn't get filled til .31
Think about this logically. The first 30-45 min were straight up after a big gap down. This was not really a weak stock, it was an overreaction. In my experience 90% of the time when these stocks start off with a big run in the morning after a big gap down they either end up stuck in a box or they squeeze and trend up all day long. They are usually better for longs IMO. Also this stock has nearly 40% of the float held short so it is prone to squeezes.
Also the volume pattern was bullish all day long. Tons of buying (covering, lol) all day!
