From a trading perspective on the penny stock, VRML shares have exploded past both their 200-day and 50-day moving averages Thursday with monster volume. This move is pushing VRML stock price within range of triggering an even better breakout trade. That trade will happen once VRML stock pricce surpasses some near-term overhead resistance at $2.37 to $2.46 with volume equal to Thursday’s.

What caused the breakout today in VRML stock can only be traced back to the preliminary proxy materials which call for:

• A vote FOR the election of Robert S. Goggin, and, if the Amendment is reversed of Mr. Goggin and Gregory V. Novak, to serve as directors of the Company,
• A vote AGAINST the approval of the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers,
• A vote AGAINST the amendment and restatement of the 2010 Plan for the purpose of increasing the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the 2010 Plan by 1,300,000 shares

VRML now waits to open Friday at 37.66% above its 50day moving average, 66.33% above its 200 day moving average, yet still -52.18% below its 52 week high of $5.69. Traders should now look for long-biased trades if VRML can sustain a move, or close, above $2.37 to $2.46 with volume that’s well above 703 thousand.
