For those traders who were lucky and smart enough to be in an Arotech Corporation (NASDAQ:ARTX) before today, then congratulations - you're up at least 38% on your position. Now it's time to get out. Conversely, if you're looking for a new name to get into (or perhaps looking for a place to park your ARTX proceeds), then you may want to consider Pazoo Inc. (OTCBB:PZOO)... a tiny online retailer of health and fitness goods. PZOO has dropped several tell-tale hints that more upside is on the way.
Just to quell the inevitable "colorful disagreements", this isn't a long-term judgment call on Arotech Corporation. The company is a fine company, and has an encouraging future. Likewise, this isn't necessarily a long-term bullish stance on Pazoo Inc. The company's got a compelling niche concept, but it's a startup, and as such the odds are against it. This take is simply an acknowledgement that both PZOO and ARTX are trading instruments, and are fully capable of taking on a life of their own... a life that may or may not reflect their underlying corporate value. If one can take advantage of that short-term mis-pricing or hype-driven trend, why not do so?
