Outlook
IPSI was a huge winner earlier this year running from .005 to a high of .36 but since has lost about 66% of it’s value. The stock had a brief bounce a few weeks ago rallying from .08 to .22 but the move was short lived and the stock continues to trend lower. Traders will be watching to see if the stock holds the .08 area again or will it head to .04/.05 the next logical support area.
