There will be a time that IKT turns up. But I wonder how much damage has been done in the investment world to have a $10 IPO in December. Then do a secondary at a huge discount to the market price--at $3-- within months.
Now IKT is trading BELOW the last secondary.
But--When it turns up, I think it will be quick and fast run to $4. Worthy appreciation potential for the risk.
The RSI is under 30--and it is rare that a stock stays down there for long.
