Every once in a while I get this forlorn feeling that for all of my =
reading
and examination, the behavior of the stock market will forever remain a
mystery for me.

Here's today's example.  I got stopped out on UTSI, which at one point
today, had shed as much as 15% from its high of 42.10 on Tuesday.  (I =
had a
stop set at 37.)

The chart has been a dependable LLUR since March.  VectorVest's analysis
says the fundamentals are all excellent.  And today the company =
announced a
75% increase in sales, topping the consensus by 3 cents a share. (See
article below.)

So my question is: if the chart is great, the fundamentals are great, =
and
the earnings are great, what's not to like?  What am I missing here? =
What do
the sellers know that I didn't?  Is it just the larger market action =
putting
everyone, even owners of a great stock like UTSI, in a selling mood?
