"Thumbs up from me Finch....you could just be technical trader and not care about the difference....."
Not so.
With a major fundamental change, you can throw the technicals out the window and start again.
A minnow who receives a whale contract today is a completely different company now - everything has changed.
Also, some of the real gems are thinly traded - when constantly having zero trades for days then only a few grand then 4 or 5 trades then back to zip tells you nothing.
Their cash position and profit can tell a story though.
