The CDVI<\/strong> didn’t really do much better in November – its slide continued with frightening speed right up until last Thursday, when it finally began to turn the tide. How and why did that happen?<\/p>\n At this point, it’s pretty much anyone’s guess what motivated investors to start buying and push the ticker back 34.00% up, then another 28.36% up and finally – 40.12% up yesterday.<\/p>\n Hopeful investors and opportunistic traders may have seen this extreme dip as the perfect opportunity to stock up on “cheapies” – because, even after all that jumping around share prices is currently as low as up to $0.1205.<\/p>\n Additionally, many investors who are used to the OTC Markets being a seedy place, populated mostly by dubious companies, must have also reasoned that – “hey, a dime a pop isn’t too high a price to pay for the stock of an operational company that used to be on the NYSE”. And to some extent that train of thought is correct, but it is also flawed.<\/p>\n CDVI<\/strong> got de-listed from NYSE exactly because it had trouble keeping up with that marnet’s high standards. The company’s latest financial report shows that although it is it is operational, CDVI<\/strong> is far from profitable.<\/p>\n As the old saying goes, “even a dead cat will bounce if it falls from a great height”. That may very well be the phenomenon that CDVI<\/strong> is experiencing right now, but if it is – how long can such a bounce last?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" October 2014 was a virtual disaster for Cal Dive International, Inc.

At this point, investors should probably ask themselves – do I really want to own a piece of a company with financials such as these, even if its stock is as cheap as CDVI’s<\/strong> currently is?<\/p>\n
