Here's my take (a good exercise, since I own it!)

Cup started on 7/3/01 with a high of 27.98, hit a bottom just after 9/11
(like most of the market).  At that point, it started the right side of the
cup, and worked up to a new high.  I see a short 4 day handle around the
Thanksgiving, and then a breakout on 11/27.  From there, it formed a new
handle, pivot 26.89 for 6 days, and broke out strongly on 12/7 with much
higher volume than the breakout from the previous shorter handle.  I
purchased the next day, but the stock pulled back for 2 days, testing any
CANSLIMers mettle, but then recovered back above the pivot, moved up, had
another 2 day test, and then moved on up to a new 52 week high.  The action
since then has been a consolidation of the previous moves up, more than 20%
in 3 or 4 weeks.  During this time, it had tested the B/O over the 52 week,
but has moved higher after each of those tests so far.

Over the last 7 of 8 trading days, it has once again formed a handle, in
this case a "high handle" slightly above the 52 week high.  The high of the
handle is 30.70, and I would think a strong move above it on good volume
would offer another potential buying opp for a CANSLIMer.  Others agree?
