$MF - NEWS UPDATE

$MF may continue lower for a few more days - unless a buyer is reported. Technical analysis is out the window in situations like this so proceed with caution. I am going to watch for an intraday volume increase in anticipation on good news. The potential for this stock is great.. but there are some considerable risks as well. - Stock Cowboy
