Finjan Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: FNJN)
Finjan a globally recognized leader in cybersecurity, received a positive ruling today from a jury in their patent case against Blue Coat Systems Inc. The jury found that 5 of 6 Finjan’s patents were infringed upon by Blue Coat Systems. The jury awarded a sum of nearly 40 million dollars in damages as a reasonable amount of royalties for Blue Coat’s Infringement. This may not be the end for Finjan in the courtroom as they have also filed a second lawsuit against Blue Coat Systems for infringing on seven more of their patents. Finjan also has infringement lawsuits against five other companies on over 20 of their patents. Market Wired

Technical Analysis
FNJN gapped up in price today to $2.51 up from yesterday’s close of $1.61 which is a 56% increase in price based on favorable news. Taking a look at the daily chart we can see the last time the stock has been at this price level was on March 24 when it reached highs of $2.82 and closed at $2.40. Since then the stock tanked and traded below the $1.50 level until the spike up today. The stock has a very low float of 6.62 million shares which makes it a prime target for the gap and go strategy. For trading purposes I would use the pre market highs of $2.74 as an entry price looking for a possible run to 3.25 which was the highs reached back on Feb12 of this year. My stop price would be $2.50 which is today’s opening price fearing if it falls below that price it might fill in the gap.
