The first time this stock appeared in my GAPPER scan, I did not pay attention. But a few minutes later, it was back again but on the 20-DAY NEW HIGH (see daily chart above). I'm familiar with this stock because I used to track/trade it everyday when it was the top honcho of the medical equipment sector. Bought the position when the price pulled back a little bit after the breakout. Sold the position when the trailing stop was hit which is just below the 9th HANGING MAN cstick.
