Investor's Corner of today's has "Tips On When To Hold A Leader Through Its
Correction."
It's interesting to see how IBD follows the leader. I learned much more from
Katherine explaining
the signs of potential climax runs. I appreciate the lessons, thank you.

> Hi Mike,

how

"extension

>
> Signs of potential climax runs:
> If a stock's price is overextended from its base and:
> (1) its price closes for a larger increase than on any prior up days
> (ultimate top often occurs on heaviest volume day since the beginning of
the
> advance)
> (2) if it has been advancing rapidly and opens on a gap up in price
(advance
> is probably near its peak)
> (3) the stock's price breaks badly for several days and does not rally
> (4) suddenly makes its greatest one-day price drop since the beginning of
> the move (consider in context of additional sell signals,industry group
> weakness, market weakness, fundamental weakness in stock)
> (5) a stock split is announced and the stock runs up sharply for 1-2
weeks.

> Other signals of topping:
> (1) Stock has advanced a number of months and price rises 25-50% on heavy
> volume in a couple of weeks
> (2) Churning: Stock trades on heavy volume but can't manage meaningful
price
> gains
> (3) Wedging: New price highs on low volume
> (4) Price repeatedly falls on high volume
> (5) Leader in industry group puts in climax top
>
> Overextension from the base is a nebulous term, but generally you're into
> "extended" territory when:
> (1) the stock gets into "rubberband sell rule territory"--i.e. >=25% above
> the 50dMA AND >=70% above the 200dMA
> (2) the current forward PE has expanded to 120%  of the trailing PE (i.e.
> 2.2 times) at the time of the breakout.
