DPW pulled from my Fidelity Screen out of 16,000 stocks it pulled six and DPW appeared to have the most potential. The chart had volume from the day before with an upward trend.

Ideally I would have preferred the run up happen before the power hours Lesson Learned - Had I set a stop loss, it would have triggered mid morning missing afternoon gains. No Newsletter involved.
