Gear International Inc. (OTC PINK: GEAR) stock saw a surge in volume in the last trading session, 5X the 10 day average. GEAR stock rallied in February from the 10th to the 17th for a 566.67% gain from .006 to .042. The penny shares rallied again from the 24th to 27th for another 95.12% rally. However, during either of those rallies, GEAR stock did not trade as many shares in any trading session compared to Friday’s session. So, why is the penny stock of Gear Intl. so hot all of a sudden? Is it because of the connection they have with another one of the hot penny stocks: GWBU?

Bottom Line: GEAR stock should be added to the list of penny stocks to watch for Monday and consider setting up for a day trade. GEAR stock has had pops in the past which have lasted for days but that would seem a bit risky considering that the financial filings for the year ended December 31, 2011 and for Q1 of 2012 were both just recently filed with OTCMarkets.
