What Retail Investors Should Do

SCN Takeaway: Tactical Spec Play with Risk Control

VRME is a textbook micro-cap momentum story—driven by a material news catalyst and a tiny float. The UPS tie-up marks a tangible growth vector for precision logistics, and earlier financial moves reflect surging investor trust. But volatility is extreme and fundamentals remain modest—making VRME a high-risk, high-reward ticker best approached with cautious sizing and clear entry/exit parameters.
