Sym Last Chg Pct

The Chart of the Day is Altisource Asset Management (AAMC).  I found the stock by sorting the All Time High List for the frequency of new highs in the last month and it was right near the top of the list.  The stock is off the charts and in the last year went from 15.00 to 1005.00!

The company provides portfolio management and corporate governance services to Real-Estate Investment Trusts and other real-estate portfolio-driven entities. Altisource Asset Management Corp is based in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

OK, this stock is presented to show you what NOT to do.  Only $20 million in revenue and that at a loss of $6 million.  Stock is up 6,600% in a year and is based in the Virgin Islands.  Is there anyone reading this column that would even consider this an investment at this level?
