DELAFIELD, Wis. (Stockpickr) --�There isn't a day that goes by on Wall Street when certain stocks trading for under $10 a share don't experience massive spikes higher. Traders savvy enough to follow the low-priced names and trade them with discipline and sound risk management are banking ridiculous coin on a regular basis.

Just take a look at some of the big movers in the under-$10 complex from Thursday, including China Auto Logistics (CALI), which exploded higher by 46%; ITT Educational Services (ESI), which ripped sharply higher 40%; DLH Holdings (DLHC), which spiked sharply higher by 38%; and Echo Therapeutics (ECTE), which soared by 36%. You don't even have to catch the entire move in lower-priced stocks such as these to make outsized returns when trading.
One example of an under-$10 stock I flagged recently that ripped sharply higher was specialty pharmaceutical player Pernix Therapeutics (PTX), which I featured in Sept. 26's "5 Breakout Stocks Under $10 Set to Soar" at around $7.80 per share. I mentioned in that piece that shares of Pernix Therapeutics had been uptrending a bit for a few weeks, with shares moving higher from its low of $6.83 to its intraday high of $7.88 a share. That uptrend was quickly pushing shares of PTX within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade above some overhead resistance at $7.88 a share.
