Vulcan Materials Stock Price Prediction Analysis

Have you ever been surprised when a price of a Company such as Vulcan Materials is soaring high without any particular reason?

Have you ever observed a lot of a particular company's price movement is driven by press releases or news about the company that has nothing to do with actual earnings? Usually, hype to individual companies acts as price momentum. If not enough favorable publicity is forthcoming, the Stock price eventually runs out of speed.
