It’s remarkable what can change in a matter of days. Last week on the Mullooly Asset Show, we talked about Hertz and how it was trading at $0.85 a share. Our point was that not ALL stocks that crash make it back to their pre-crash price.
Since then, Hertz has spiked to roughly $6 a share. While that’s a massive jump, it’s still not even close to where it was (roughly $20 a share), and who knows how long this spike will last. Time will tell.
Here’s what I’ve been reading this morning:
