Ann,

I think the whole issue with the cup w/o a handle comes to this. Have all
the sellers finished selling? The problem with no handle is the chance of a
big pullback as the previous shareholder get out for good after sitting
through that darned cup. With a handle of lower volume, there is less risk
of a pullback. Most of the sellers are done IMO.

So, I'm no expert at this but, I might want to see the volume dryup a bit as
it climbs the right side near the top - then increased volume as it breaks
to new ground. Add to that, the fundies had better be perfect for added
insurance against the lack of a handle.

Note: I find the no handle issue fits with the double bottom charts better
as the stock's had ample time to shake out the sellers
