DELAFIELD, Wis. (Stockpickr) -- There isn't a day that goes by on Wall Street when certain stocks trading for $10 a share or less don't experience massive spikes higher. Traders savvy enough to follow the low-priced names and trade them with discipline and sound risk management are banking ridiculous coin on a regular basis.
Just take a look at some of the hot movers in the under-$10 complex from Thursday, including Prospect Global Resources (PGRX), which has skyrocketed by over 30%; Eagle Bulk Shipping (EGLE), which has soared higher by 20%; GigOptix (GIG), which is ripping higher by 18%; and Kandi Technologies (KNDI), which is up by over 15%. You don't even have to catch the entire move in lower-priced stocks such as these to make outsized returns when trading.
One low-priced stock that recently exploded to the upside was development-stage healthcare player Atossa Genetics (ATOS), which I highlighted in Aug. 6's "5 Stocks Setting Up to Break Out" at around $4.90 per share. I mentioned in that piece that shares of ATOS were starting to uptrend over the last month, with shares moving higher form its low of $4.22 to its recent high of $5.08 a share. That move was quickly pushing ATOS within range of triggering a big breakout trade above a key downtrend line that dated back to May. That breakout was set to trigger if ATOS managed to clear $5.08 a share with high volume.
