Nxt-ID (NASDAQ:NXTD) stock is running higher on Tuesday despite a lack of news from the company this morning.
Instead, it looks like we have retail investors to thank for the boost to NXTD stock. Chatter on social media points to a short squeeze of the shares as traders take advantage of a low float and cheap entry price.
Trading volume for NXTD stock today backs this up with more activity than normal. As of this writing, over 16 million shares of the stock have changed hands. That’s already well above the company’s daily average trading volume of 2.3 million shares.
Of course, traders will want to approach NXTD stock with caution today. While these short squeezes can be a quick way to pocket some profits, they don’t last long. Investors can expect to see the shares fall after it’s done and someone has to be left holding the bag.
With that in mind, here’s what potential NXTD investors need to know about the company.
- Nxt-ID is “a manufacturer and distributor of non-monitored and monitored personal emergency response systems.”
