Hi Chris,

Thanks for the feedback and congrats on such an excellent purchase. If I
remember right, Ed Gjersten brought this stock to the list's attention, so
thanks to him as well!

I'm not keen on adding to a position after it is extended from a breakout. If
you're interested in adding, then you'll want to look for a low volume pullback
to support as a less risky entry. There's also the possibility that this is a
very strong rally in a bear market, so you'll also want to be watching for signs
that the leaders and the market as a whole are starting to breakdown (if that
occurs). Keep your eyes peeled for more excellent CANSLIM quality stocks
breaking out.... so far there have been a steady supply of them and that may be
a better option for you than adding to your GRMN position at this point. All in
all it's a matter of preference.

Katherine

  Katherine -

  I greatly appreciate your detailed analysis.  I hadn't thought of it as an
ascending base at all, I didn't even know they existed.  Thank you for shedding
some light on the situation.  I bought in initially at 30 and am up 45% (my
third CANSLIM purchase).  Should I consider adding to my position?  I really
like the company, I think they've got great products and are dominating an
undersaturated market.  Or should I be happy with my profits and move on to
another stock?

  Thanks Again!

  Chris

    Hi Jeff and Chris,

    I see GRMN as having broken out of an ascending base last week, not a climax
run. That's a very common occurrence for very strong stock at the beginning of
new up-legs in a market. See my annotated chart at:

    http://www.cwhcharts.com/katherine/GRMN050203.JPG

    GRMN has a lot going for it. We score it with 6.7 out of 11 possible
technical points and 9.4 out of a possible 11 fundamental points.

    You can see the detail from the CANSLIM Evaluator we've made available to
the list members:

    http://www.cwhcharts.com/katherine/GRMN-CE050203.JPG

    GRMN ranks 11th in the industry for RSRank/% off 52 wk high:

    http://www.cwhcharts.com/katherine/GRMNIndusComp050203.JPG

    GRMN's industry itself has been rising steadily through the ranks. The
underlying core technical condition of the industry components has been rising
steadily.

      Hi Chris,



      I’m just learning, but have been reading the chapter on selling in HTMMS
this week.  The book mentions watching out for gaps between a days opening price
and the previous day’s closing.  For GRMN, I notice that it closed at 39.22 on
29 Apr.  On 30 Apr it opened at about 40.00 – the gap is visible on the graph.
This may be a warning sign, but I look forward to hearing comments from more
experienced folks.

      Hi

      I was wondering if anyone sees a climax top occurring on GRMN.  It's risen
13% in the last four days.  It also recently had the biggest one-day price gain
since it's breakout, and it is well extended from its base.  Any opinions?  Is
now a good time to get out?



      Thanks!



      Chris
