Looking at the yearly performance, GAIN did better than 75% of all other stocks. However, this relatively good performance is mostly due to a recent big move.
GAIN has an excellent technical rating, but the quality of the setup is only medium at the moment. Price movement has been a little bit too volatile to find a nice entry and exit point. It is probably a good idea to wait for a consolidation first.
