Greetings all,

I'd like to chime in regarding failed Breakouts. I think it's only natural
for traders to hone in on the opportunity herd mentality presents to them. If
traders are buying in at the lower part of bottoming patterns, in
consolidation ranges, it seems proper for them to sell into the strength that
CANSLIMers create with B/O recognition. No doubt their exits create some of
the downdraft that cause the failures. I have noted that not all B/Os fail
completely, as of late, but that often they're pulling back into the range
then drifting up above the pivot sometimes up to a week after the initial B/O.

The question that's important to contemplate now is, will it be this way from
now on? I suspect that a full blown Bull will again reward buying B/Os
regularly, but that making a living trading in this Market is tough enough so
that the traders are looking for any kind of predictability they can trade
against.

For my part, I believe in the Fundamental aspects of CANSLIM but am inclined
towards buying bottoms. Hence why I seldom contribute here. I have done much
better buying at the bottom of ranges myself, which usually keep me well
within my own 10% mental stop, or more often still positive, when these B/Os
do fail. FWIW.

Good Luck All, no matter how you play it.
