Fundies and chart look pretty good.  IF the market has bottomed this is
probably a good buy at 23.  That's still a big IF.  Notice the stock
sold off with the market in late July and early Oct.  Good recent
guidance on Q3 and FY earnings.

I agree there's no handle but a high handle could be forming now in
which case I'm sure we'll see a future IBD reference to this beautiful
cup with (slightly high) handle.  Hind sight is oh so perfect.
