FYI, something to look for when you find an unusual trading pattern.

When you do, is the next a few months old?
Has there at least been a few PR's over the past 6 months or so?

Let's discuss BIZZ for example:

1.) Last PR?
September 18, 2012
Bizzingo Appoints President and COO Roger Wood (Market Wire)

2.) What's happened since then in regards to volume?

What pattern do you see from above?
Low volume as it continues too this data lulling everyone too sleep.

When BIZZ started to trade on a regular bases on Friday, that is a buy every few minutes, that's your first sign since you've already read the above and know an approximate volume pattern over say the last 10 to 20 days.
Actually heavy-volume set in after 48k early Friday if you looked.
That is a very serious clue.

Now, no one knows if BIZZ was going too have a huge 10dayavg volume in the morning right? So that should be part of your data.

* What happens is a stock sets for a while after news
* It then has and continues to have low volume days if news doesn't come soon.
* Then you get a average volume pattern starting.
* Then you see a symbol less traded and starting too show up real-time
* Then slow tick buying volume on a regular bases starts to show up letting you know this isn't a run, but a loading process. If wasn't an eye catcher because it didn't move up quick enough nor catch anyone's eye: http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/msgsearch.aspx?searchstr=bizz

* So you had a very interesting biz-model
* A timely market http://www.bizzingo.com/corp/about.html
* An off the bottom possibility http://www.bizzingo.com/corp/about.html
* A heavy-volume alert early
* No news for a while
* A symbol seldom played which adds tremendous value since fewer bag-holders, other data in the same arena
* A slow ticker letting you know someone is loading

This is one strategy I use for trading/investing purposes.
