Handle

Major Resistance: 46 1/2 on 1/21/97 & 2/25/97

Pivot Point:          46 1/2
Pivot Point +5%:  47 7/8 
Pivot Point +10%: 51 1/8 

Saucer has formed over a 4 month period, handle has been forming for
the past 4 weeks. Record earnings reported 2/18/97 for 4th qtr 96 and 
fiscal 96. Hit new highs for 3 days following earnings report then began
correcting. Closed down today at 43 7/8, near recent support. 

Has higher institutional sponsorship then I'd like, may have too much
exposure. According to Zack's, 7 brokers have buy recommendations with
6 of them strong buys (source: Yahoo Quotes). However, this looks like a
strong company and I'm going to keep my eye on it.

Mike
