China Armco, Wet Seal: Early Volume Plays
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Several stocks trading near $5 were poised to move on above-average volume during Thursday's session.
China Armco Metals (CNAM) should traded higher on increased volume after the metal distributor said one of its subsidiaries has entered into a scrap supply contract with a major China steel producer valued at up to $100 million this year. The three-month average daily volume for China Armco is 109,000. The stock closed Wednesday at $5.30.
