Anyone out there still following this stock?

Any ideas why this stock shot up over the last few days? It has not moved for a long time. Have been looking around but there are no news either.

Waz_winn, agree with you that this stock has been a little bit of a drag but of late, it has been on an upward trend (especially with the two contract win yesterday). Are you a holder/former holder of this stock? In the past it has made me a lot of money but not recently. I hold quite a few of these stocks as I believe, the company has the ability to deliver the goods specially to the Far East markets.

This dog is down again with no news. Can't seem to understand this stock.
