Murray and Roberts big curve pointing up to R4.75?I always feel hesitant making big predictions for Penny Stocks. Especially after they've been through hell and more hell.
Well, all I can say is there seems to be some stability around the lows of 49 cents, where the demand and buying keeps pushing the price back up.
So if we get a break above the brim of the cup, we could see this market rally to R4.75.
There does need to be stronger volume coming in to ignite this stock.
