In the last few days, we have seen a number of stocks breaking out of good
bases. Only time will tell if they hold, but I was wondering what people's
thoughts were in regards to buying the stocks later, if they missed the
breakout.

We all know that WON says not to chase a stock anymore than 5% above the
pivot point, but assuming that a stock that you missed is going to be a 30%
or greater winner, are there other valid entry points?  I am not talking
about getting in if the stock pulls back to the pivot soon after the
breakout on light volume, which I know is a possible second chance, I am
more interested in if people have entry points after a stock has gained
over 5%, and does not drop any lower than that.

Is it an all or nothing game on the breakouts, ie if you don't grab one
within 5% of the pivot, then you eliminate it from your watchlist. or do
you wait for temporary consolidation after it has gained 10% or more, in
hopes that it continues to power up?

Thanks
