well,... I doubt it was the relatively paltry amount of shares I bought today that have produced this 'bump'
Perhaps I was merely a catalyst? Either way - I'll take the gain. The gain in the shares bought today has already covered the brokerage fees. Anytime I can manage to do that on a stock purchase the day of the purchase I consider it a win.
Let's just say I have a ways to go before I hold 500K shares - but I this one is looking like the best buying target this month among those I typically buy/follow.
