International Consolidated Companies, Inc. INCC – Recap

We also want to talk about INCC for a moment, following its big run to new highs. We’ve been tracking this play since the morning of April 6th, and it has made some impressive swings.

Following our flag last month the stock ran 100% from .0018-.0036, and subsequently consolidated back down to .0017 before hitting its new high of .0061 yesterday, which represents an upswing of 259%  We’ll be looking for it to hold .0037, above the previous swing high on any pullbacks.
