SSRI might need a breather having come from sub $6.00 to $20.27 in a short time. The technical indicators suggest that SSRI is now overbought so you might want to take some profits off the table if you are a short-term trader. As for us we will continue to hold as this stock is part of our core position. This stock closed at $12.94 today so if you make a short term trade and bank a few dollars do let us know and also tell us what your target price is for re-entering the market and buying your stock back.
