BSOM.OB 0.62
+8.77%), a provider of biodiesel fuel and waste bioremediation services, is seeing its shares move nearly 9 percent higher following this morning's news that a collaboration with Wake Forest University has been initiated.

China Marine Food Group (
CMFO.OB 4.30
+9.9%), which processes and distributes seafood-based snack foods and fresh and frozen marine catch to China's population, is watching its penny stock gain nearly 10% despite a lack of any news today. At its current rate, CMFO will post one of its highest volume gains since shares started to rally in March.
The sharp move carried the stock above resistance at $3.96.
Earlier in the month, China Marine Food Group announced plans to lead a government-sponsored research intended to develop consumer-ready seafood products from low-cost seafood items. The study, however, is not alone - perhaps not at all - the reason for today's gains. Today's rally is slightly indicative of company news that may have been leaked prematurely.
