      DMD is a pretty good buy.
      It seems to have bottomed out.
      If it goes down anymore (when we have a couple of serious selling sessions, it will), then it would be a strong buy.
      Without doubt it will come back to $8-9.
      Which means potential for a quick 40% return.

      No affiliation with DMD or any other agency...just a private investor.
      I've made 100% return off DMD in the last few months.

      Another volatile stock...SIFY.
      I've made 100% return on investment off that too.
