Hi Parnelli,
The best way to identify pivot points is to practice, practice, =
practice reading charts. Any charting tool that shows price/volume =
action will allow you to identify the technical pattern and "ideal" =
entry point.
A good place to start is at the IBD site itself:
http://www.investors.com/learn/b09.asp
You can chart for free at www.bigcharts.com, www.stockcharts.com =
etc.
There are services that will identify the pivot points, but they =
charge for the convenience.

Youch....well, you've probably learned the second most =
important rule in CANSLIM.....don't buy extended stocks. If you =
purchased at $16.25, support was a long way away. The pivot on this one =
was $11.55. The gap on the open 3/25 meant that your best entry would =
have been around $12.04. That means it was (16.25-12.04)/12.04 =3D 35% =
extended on purchase. You can see why this is a critical technical =
guideline. WON says about 40% of stocks will pullback to their pivot =
before moving on. If you find a good stock but miss the valid breakout, =
WAIT and see if you can get a second chance entry or wait until it =
consolidates again and breaks out before jumping in. Buying an extended =
stock is a little like bungee jumping without a rope. One of the most =

patience.

Hi Parnelli,
When did you buy? If you bought on the breakout 3/25 then =
you shouldn't have been "slammed" as the big downward action 4/23-4/25 =
is most likely market driven. A good buy would have allowed you to =
weather the action and see if it held above the pivot and the 50dMA, =
which it's done, showing very good support 4/29 with high volume and an =
upward tail.
