The top at $7.56

- In our recaps, this is the only day BBCI met the small-cap rule.
On the day's lists: the gainers, intraday runners. It is here because it met the small-cap rule on the gainers: price $2 to $20, up 10% or more, relative volume 5× or more, float under 20 million shares, its high reached $1 or more and it started the day at $20 or under (the rule every page uses).
