Vringo, Inc.(NYSEAMEX:VRNG) shares are showing heavy
selling pressure this afternoon after opening with strong gains. The stock
opened higher by about 5% and rose as much as 11% followed by a sharp reversal.
The stock is now down 22% to $3.11, just near to session’s low of $3.06.
There were minor insider selling on Friday including
COO Alex Berger - 4,000 shares at $4.08;CTO Andy Lang - 9,058 at $4.08;CEO Andy
Perlman - 1,500 at $4.05; and Director Seth Siegel - 2,000 at $4.05. The sales were
made within a pre-established Rule 10b5-1 plan.
The company has been under trial case against
Google, for a patent case, which has been driving the company’s shares wild. On
expectation of positive outcome, the stock has shown massive rally of about
500% since the beginning of the year and made an all time high of $5.73 earlier
this month. However, as the trail progresses, shares of the company started
selling off and VRNG is off 43% from all time high.
In the latest development, On Tuesday, Google
Inc(NASDAQ:GOOG) filed couple of Motions for Judgment as a Matter of Law, which
is intended to request the court to dismiss the patent between both the
companies.
This is not the first time, Google has requested for
the denial of case, in fact recently, the company’s request was denied when
Google stated that there was no potential information that Vringo could present
at trial that could justify a verdict for Vringo, and therefore, a trial would
be a waste of time, and the Court should enter summary judgment for Google.
Well whatever be the outcome, VRNG is expected to
show wild run up or down in coming sessions amid solid fight going in between the
blue chip company and small cap company (which was a penny stock in early
2012).
Technically speaking, the stock has fallen below its
50-Day Moving Average and 200-Day Moving Average of $3.82 and $3.62
respectively.
