The stock was short-term overbought but managed to push a bit higher. Normally, I would have sold my position somewhere along this rally.

As I would expect under normal circumstances, SSTI cooled off. So much so, that the gain from the Congress-inspired surge is now almost entirely gone. With buyers pulling SSTI off its lows three days in a row and slowing the selling momentum, I <strong>added<\/strong> to my position. From a fundamental standpoint, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/fact-checker\/wp\/2017\/03\/20\/are-firearms-with-a-silencer-quiet\/?utm_term=.615ad28c67af\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">it turns out that silencers are probably not as big a deal for SSTI as I thought<\/a>.
