Investors certainly have to be happy with Almost Family Inc and its short term performance. After all, the stock has jumped by 13.3% in the past 4 weeks, and it is also above its 20 Day Simple Moving Average as well. This is certainly a good trend, but investors are probably asking themselves, can this positive trend continue for AFAM?
