welcome...hard to explain some of your needed answers in detail, but in time you will be able to search with your questions as you learn to trade.  No stock goes straight up...penny stocks can go up and down for some time, but we all hope more interest keeps us seeing higher lows each time when they do pull back as FITX has done.  Uplisting usually comes when a company is getting more established and stable.  That is what most investors want.  Because of certain rules, when a company is uplisted, it basically gets more serious attention from buyers who may wish to hold long term.  Even then, no stock goes straight up.  Buy what you can and just hold them if you are not used to trading yet, and you should be fine.
