With regards to MiddleEastD,
Based on the Daily Chart, the stock is still going sideways. Will be good to see a breakout of its previous high of 0.085 first before we can conclude any further on the stock. The volume is good but we have yet to identify any price range.
In our opinion, we prefer to avoid trading shares that are below 20cents. This stock is like an elephant, will need a lot of transactions to go through for a sudden increase in price.
