Dallas, Texas 08/14/2013 (Financialstrend) – Cereplast Inc (OTCMKTS:CERP) had recently been into the watch list of many equity research analysts, primary owing to the recent gain in its share prices supported by heavy surge in trading volume of the stock reflecting the higher level of investor attraction. Expectations of the investors and the analysts on the financial performance results to be released shortly is highly piling up which is resulting in such price surges of the shares.
