GeoVax Labs Inc (GOVX) is a good buy right now due to its recent price increase of 11.68% over the last five days and a current price of $0.72, which is significantly lower than the analyst price target of $10. The company's focus on vaccine development against Ebola and Marburg viruses, especially amid a growing outbreak, positions it favorably for potential funding and market demand. However, the main risk is its substantial year-to-date change of -86.07%, reflecting ongoing volatility and past performance issues.
