5 Stocks Caught in a Bullish Stampede

Recs

1

The market may be slow to catch on to good stocks, but when it finally does, look out, because it usually arrives like a flash flood. After a company posts a positive earnings report, passes an FDA trial, or gets upgraded by a Wall Street firm, investors who had previously ignored the stock all of a sudden want in.

While jumping on the pile isn't the best practice, it's worth seeing what's piqued the market's interest in these stocks. After all, your stock could be next.

Here are five stocks rising on unusual trading volume. We've also included the stocks' CAPS rating, as determined by our Motley Fool CAPS investing community of more than 115,000 members.
