Cindy:

     While the chart is not as nice looking as NBTY (in my opinion), it 
doesn't look like a hazardous waste dump.    
    
     However, the fundamentals don't look that great (eg, earnings, debt).  
Also, I generally like management to own a greater percent of the stock than 
do funds.

      But this is why I would go more towards NBTY (besides the fundamentals 
and superior chart appearance of NBTY).  NBTY is a manf. and distributer of 
nutrients.  In my opinion, this is an up-and-coming baby boom field.  
Baby-Boomers (besides wanting to live longer) are going to want to be healthy 
as they live longer.  NBTY fills that demand.  IFF (cosmetics) provides only 
a bandaid for that which (I believe) baby-boomers will be avid:  Eternal 
Youth (or at least as eternal as possible). 

     I'd wait for the market to get better (WON's stats say that over 75% of 
stocks fall during a bear; now we may not be in a bear, but that doesn't mean 
we're in a bull.  The market could just fluctuate in a tight range for weeks 
or months just below the 200 DMA resistance.)  Moreover, as I said, I'd focus 
more on NBTY than IFF.

new to investing and tech analysis...does this bear watching?  I am ready to 
pounce :)
