Hi Kelly,

One more thing I intended to include was a comment on your original =
question about the length of the handle. WON recommends that the handle =
be *at least* 1 wk (5 trading days), but the length of the handle will =
actually vary depending on the market and the characteristics of the =
base itself. One of the articles I have in my file on handles states =
"Don't be surprised if a good stock's handle stretches seven, eight, =
even more than 10 straight weeks." (From "Very Short Handles Bear High =
Risks" 11/29/01)

Hi Charley and Kelly,

A couple of things related to the MTON chart:

To your point about the breakout being beyond the 5% limit of the =
pivot---this is a weekly chart, so what you are seeing is the closing =
price at the end of the week, not necessarily on the day it broke out on =
volume. You'll have to look back at a daily from 4/01 to see it more =
specifically.

To the point about the handle droop--While 12-15% is the "norm", in Bear =
markets, that droop can be as much as 30% according to WON. My =
recollection of the 4/01 time period is that we were just beginning a =
rally and so it wouldn't seem out of character for the handle to be as =
deep as it was (by my estimation looking at the chart, about 25%). As =
long as the handle forms on diminishing volume, is in the upper half of =
the cup formation and above the 200 day MA, it's valid.

a 2 week handle, WON does state it should not droop more than 15%-20%. I =

    In today's "Would you buy this stock?" Metro One Telecom is =
featured. The chart shows a CwH formation and the answer to the quiz is =
"Yes," you should have bought this stock. But is this the most beautiful =
CwH formation there is? The handle continues for 14 days before the BO. =
Doesn't WON recommend 3 - 7 days? During this time, it dips 50% from the =
top of the right side. Seems that I remember WON suggesting a CwH =
formation should correct around 20%. Thoughts anyone?
