  I agree with concern about today's close near the day's low but most =
of the
  day's volume was in the first 1 1/2 hours and the stock spent most of =
the day
  near the midpoint of the day's range.

  I see a pivot point on the daily chart at 20.56 with a pretty good 2 =
week handle
  on declining volume.  I also see a pivot point on the weekly chart of =
20.25 in
  August with a 4 month handle on declining volume following a 15 month =
base.
  (This pivot was hit on 12/12 and although having pulled back since =
then has not
  broken below the base of the 4 month handle.)

  My biggest concerns are the 58% fund ownership and the fact that I =
can't figure
  out what their business is.  If I believed in the business I'd =
consider an entry
  at 21.50 and keep the stop tight because of the high fund ownership.
