Hi Joe:

With 4 distribution days in the last 6, and a clear failure to break its old high ($30) today, and the fact that its RS appears to me to be lagging other leaders of this bull (YHOO was at $25 on April 7 - compare that to, HITK, SSYS, MTLG, etc...) I personally would be looking for reasons to sell. In fact, at the open today, $30 looked to me like an excellant risk/reward short entry, with a tight stop at $30.85.

JMHO, and you should know that I have been a bit too cautious for most of this 3-month bull.

Cheers,

Ian

  I hope you all don't mind me asking your opinion on this, but I can't think of a better place to go.
   
  I am up about 35% on Yahoo.  I have never had a stock do this well before!  I think I should keep it for a little while longer until I see stronger institutional selling, but I am getting nervous.  It is MUCH harder to decide when to sell a stock than when to buy it.
   
  Yahoo dropped a little bit after it appeared on the cover of BusinessWeek, but it is climbing slightly again.  Let me list the reasons why I think I should hold on to it for a little while, and you can comment on my thoughts if you like.
   
    a.. I see only 4 distribution weeks in the last 6 months.  
    b.. The RS line is still rising, although it may have started flattening out lately.  
    c.. WON recommends drawing a line along the last 2 or 3 peaks on a weekly chart and sell when a stock crosses it over it.  This hasn't happened yet.  
    d.. I see it in a 2nd stage base.  It has not reached a 3rd or 4th stage base.
  One negative I can think of: It has had a #1 in IBD industry rankings for a long time, and it is ranked #5 in their IBD industry.  
   
  What do you all think?  I appreciate your CANSLIM comments.
   
  Thanks,
   
  Joe McCall
