Hmmmm, sounds like the Canslim group here is having growing pains. I was =

  Patrick,

  Really interesting point of view in this quote. Sure makes the case =
for supply & demand driving breakouts. Seems like it also makes the case =
for looking for alternative technical patterns and/or modified entry =
points other than the usual CANSLIM party line.

    I have been wondering for a while if the fact that these breakout =
points have=20
    become so well known expains why there seems to be (seems is the key =

to the point=20
    where I frequently wait for a breakout and then buy a pullback, =
rather than trying to=20
    anticipate it, or get in at the breakout point. =20

    Regarding failed breakouts, I was reading a daytrading book (The =
Master Day=20
    Trader, not to be confused with The Master Swing Trader), and found =
the following=20
    passage interesting -

    "We teach our traders to be the creators of those market events that =

    then we say 'get the stock up to 40 1/8'.  In other words, make the =

off more often than=20
    some might think."
