Molycorp triggered a buy

I entered a position on Molycorp (MCP) at $5.16. It paid off to patiently wait for price to come down after the huge run it had at the beginning of the year. I am setting a stop just below $5 with a target of $7.50. I adjusted the position size to compensate for the relatively wide stop, but the Reward / Risk is still very good (13:1) I always use the StockTradeCalc to manage risk.
