Among the laggards were several of the usual suspects — stocks that have made regular appearances in the bottom half of this column.

But the runt of the litter this week was GMX Resources, an Oklahoma City energy company. GMXR shares have been low-priced and volatile for some time, attributes that garner the interest of the eagle and beagle on a regular basis.

A week ago here, we noted the 65 percent one-week gain of GMXR shares after the company announced an outside investment. That, regrettably, was followed by a 19.5 percent decline in the stock price. It closed Friday at 64 cents.

Perhaps it's time to limit our spotlight to stocks that trade for $1 or more.
