Keystone Technologies was, for all intents and purposes, a junk stock. Its glory days were long gone. After Kyle Warren led the entire research team to walk out, its stock price had plummeted.

Its stock price languished, going nowhere. It was safe to say the stock had no potential. But on the second day of the competition, Keystone Technologies' stock suddenly soared, hitting its daily limit.
