The stock rose 8.3 percent that day and hit a high of $18.50 less than a week later.

The stock jumped from $16 a share a month ago to a high of $19.50 last week, a 22 percent surge.

I came off such a high last week, but I just wasn't sharp.

Oil prices have risen a third this year to last week's high of $57.60 a barrel.

The week's $16 high on the common stock, which trades over the counter, was approximately 16 times the company's net worth.

From an initial offering price of $18 a share, they closed at $39.75, a new high, last week.
