The question is, can RIC continue moving higher? The stock has gained 24.7% during the past month, has a price-to-book value of 1.92 and a PEG ratio of 0.

Studies have shown that investors who buy stocks after hitting yearly highs during a bull market achieve higher average returns that the broad market indexes. This is a great example of the trader adage that "the trend is your friend." However, these historical results are based on large averages---and some bullish momentum in the market. It is much more difficult to say whether RIC, as a single stock, will continue to hit new highs. But for the time being, things look promising.
