  ZillaGirl: You asked if I would try to explain the double/triple =
bottom. This is just my opinion but I suspect they are formations that =
started out to be cups with handles and were mutated along the way.=20
  They start with the selloff at a point of price resistance, which is =
technical talk meaning the sellers overpowered the buyers, or simply, =
more sellers came to the party than buyers. (When I see this happening I =
feel like the smart buyers are just taking a profit they helped to =
create. Nothing basically wrong with the stock, its just time to move =
some money from the table.) At some point the price looks so attractive =
the buyers return. They are buying a company they like at discount =
prices.=20
  With volume, the price moves up the right side and crosses the mid =
point between the high and low prices. The something unexpected happens. =
It could be troubling news about the company or the market, and the =
buyers turn to sellers and the price heads south again. This time, the =
stock makes a new low, maybe one or two points below the old low. The =
buyers look for the all clear and resume buying. Now it gets tricky for =
CANSLIMers. As the price exceeds the middle of the W, the buy rules kick =
in. However, it is possible for a double bottom to form a handle at this =
stage, and if it does, then the buy signal changes to the peak, plus =
.10, of the right leg of the W.=20

  As I under it, the rare triple bottom is the same as a double bottom, =
but with one more sell off.=20
