At this point I'd like to see the stock make a new recent high, i.e. over $6.50 before adding back to the position. If it cannot, we'll just dump the last remaining 0.1%. For whatever reason, the market does not like this company much right now - despite what appears to be relatively solid fundamentals. However, you can see another stock building a long sideways base, from which it will eventually move sharply one way or the other. Yesterday it looked poised to "break out" to the downside, today - back to the top end of this 6 week range... how quickly things can change.
