Donald,

I guess it's not an ascending base, if IBD says it's not! I'm glad you =
clarified.

As Katherine recently wrote, the ascending base is 3 consecutive =
pullbacks, each with higher highs and higher lows. I had thought that a =
base-on-base needed a week or two between the 2 bases to qualify, but I =
gather that was wrong.

But, hey, I'm still learning too!!

Good luck with your trade.
Ann

          I see it more as a cup-with-handle (but when the only tool you =
have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail!) because the two dips =
were not of equal depth, but I'm not sure what the tolerance limits are.

          However, as a CwH it formed a pivot at $25.90 on 7/10. It then =
went on to dip to a low of $20.20 in the handle, which was a 22% drop. =
WON says that a stock should only correct by at most 15% in the handle =
(although there are inconsistent statements on this) so it didn't =

could be buyable up to $27.12 (5% above pivot).

            Hi Victor,

            I'll leave the specific analysis of the DCOM chart to =
somebody else, but in the meantime, here's something to get you started:

                  Question=20
                    Can a double-bottom base have a handle, or is it =
just the start of another base?=20
                =20
                    Answer=20
                    In a double-bottom base, the pivot (buy) point =
typically occurs when the stock clears the peak in the middle of the =
W-shaped pattern. Sometimes, double bottoms will form handles before =
they reach this point. In those situations, the pivot point is when the =
stock clears the highest price point in the handle area. The handle =
should drift downward slightly and usually form over a period of one to =
seven weeks.

                  Course 1 in the IBD Learning Center on our Web site =
has a lesson on chart reading. To get there directly, go to this link - =
http://www.investors.com/learn/B09.asp=20

                  Also, go to our Investor's Corner archive entitled =
"What Can Technical Indicators Tell Me?" to view past articles on this =
topic - http://www.investors.com/learn/IC.asp#tech=20

              Subject: [CANSLIM] DCOM - B/O rules


              MessageOn Wedsday's edition (today) IBD listed DCOM as b/o =
from a double
              bottom.  On Tuesday IBD weblink said " ... Dime hit 25.94 =
Monday, just
              missing a breakout..." .

              As a newbie trying to learn more about charts and =
breakouts, this seems like
              a great example to check my understanding.

              If I am getting it right, the reason why DCOM is deemed to =
have b/o is
              because of the following two easons:

              a) It closed at 26.90 having achieved an high of 27.0, and =
that is above the
              previous high of 26.80 back in May 17, 2002.

              b) The new high was achieved at a volume 1,056,800 which =
is 378% up from the
              day before and four times the average daily volume of =
221,100

              What is the exact rule for a breakout mathematically? =
(Lets say that I were
              to program it in say Metastock?)

              Base on this case I can see two rules at least (in =
pseudo-code):

              IF today's high is greater than the previous high (is this =
the all time high
              or just the rolling 52 week high?)
              AND
              IF today's volume is greater than N times the normal =
volume (is this some
              sort of moving average of the daily volume, or just =
yeaterday's volume)
              THEN yippe it is a B/O

              Is  there any "fuzziness" to the above rules?

              BTW, the fundamentals on DCOM also look great, ignoring M =
for a moment, is
              this a valid CANSLIM candidate stock?

              Rgds

              Victor Chang
