Hi Roger,

APPX is another one of those cases where you have a better perspective on
the action since the breakout by using a weekly chart:

http://www.cwhcharts.com/katherine/APPXWkly052303.JPG

It's hard not to have a situation where price declines a bit since the
breakout, because that day, the volume was 150%+ of average. Subsequent days
can still be on respectable volume, but viewed in contrast to the big
breakout day, might give the impression of wedging action. In that case, you
want to ask whether the action, in general, is doing what you'd expect. Are
up days on high volume and down days on low volume? Is there a significant
decrease in volume on up days in comparison to the beginning of the run or
is it still respectibly high? Is the price churning (very little upward
price movement on high volume)? Etc.

http://www.cwhcharts.com/katherine/APPX052303.JPG

That doesn't mean APPX won't flash warning signs in the near future, but
right now it looks pretty healthy. That also shouldn't affect your profit
taking plan in any way. If you've chosen to follow the 20%-take-it-and-run
rule, then you should absolutely stick to your plan.

Katherine
