    Same here. I just discovered SDTH yesterday, and after poring over the financials, decided I'd liquidate one of my holdings today and buy SDTH on Thursday. Imagine my surprise as I watched the stock rise in pre-market trading and continue on up during the day. Roth had to go and spoil my little secret.

    Its not roth capitol that drove the price up with that idiotic upgrade , They are already selling all they can produce now , they cant beat earnings because they cant produce more than the 240 metric tons they produced the 1st qtr, they are building a new factory at zibo but production will not start until august , and they will only be able to produce another 60 tons by the end of the year. The stock is going through a SHORT SQUEEZE , it will be over soon , most of the shorts coverd last week, You guys will get this at 3 bucks when the shorts leave, THEY cant beat earnings , they can give positive future growth, acquire another facility , but they are at 100% run utilization rate , and the earnings will be EXACTLY the same as Q1, you buy now and your gonna get burned, only the shorts and undereducated are buying at $4+ YOUR WELCOME !
