I have read mostly "no" to this question, mainly from the O'Neil / Granville / Weinstein / etc, school of thought.
My question is, in a bear market (which is coming, just a matter of time), if I come across another MAGS or IPIX, should I automatically avoid it or consider it?
Note:
MAGS traded 200 times its previous day's volume on B.O. day
IPIX 88 times
Both low shares outstanding
"World Climate" (security/terrorism) provided obvious catalyst
MAGS returned 300% in a few weeks post BO
IPIX returned 500% post BO
Again, if I have the "perfect" chart pattern, volume to confirm it, plus supplemental factors such as world climate / currency / oil prices / severe weather / etc, should I trade it?
thanks
