Welcome to the list, Dave.

LLUR (Lower Left Upper Right) is kind of an "insider term" here, 
although WON does talk about the pattern.  Basically it's a straight 
line, with little volatility, at a consistent upward angle. The trick to 
investing in a LLUR is to keep a close eye on how closely the stock 
keeps to the 50d ma. If it deviates markedly away from that ma, it may 
be time to get out. See DLX for a typical chart.
