Updated Recommendations on WBMD, WAL, RNWK

Open trades on Western Alliance Bancorporation, WebMD Health, and RealNetworks are reviewed by stock trading site.

The Small Cap Network (smallcapnetwork.com), a leading online investment community focused on small cap stocks, has updated its previous recommendations on WebMD Health Corp. (WBMD), RealNetworks Inc. (RNWK), and Western Alliance Bancorporation (WAL). Two of the three stocks are making acceptable progress, while the third is to be exited after a lack of progress.

These stocks were recommended by Small Cap Network within the last few weeks. WebMD was picked in June, as was RealNetworks. Western Alliance Bancorporation was picked in August. WBMD and RNWK are still attractive, and both have a profit cushion to offset future volatility. WAL, on the other hand, is not making progress; the site suggests specific action for that trade.
