Hi Bob,

Here are some quick annotations on AUO's most recent base:

  Subject: [CANSLIM] AUO: What to do


  I recently discovered AUO and it appears to be an interesting investment
opportunity.  AUO makes LCD displays for consumer electronics including notebook
computers, desktop computers, TVs, etc.  The company's sales and profit margins
are expanding as the demand for large panel flat screen TVs increases.  The
technicals are solid but the fundamentals are weak from a CANSLIM perspective.
It's also extended from it's pivot point of 9.75.

  The chart appears to have a staircase quality recently. Recently, it bases for
a month and then quickly moves upward only to base for a month again.  There's
no real CWH, just a series of flat bases connected by breakouts.

  So that's my question.  Is this "staircase" pattern an acceptable basing
pattern where you can buy the stock after it breaks resistance for it's current
"base" or is it wiser to wait for a CWH pattern to emerge?

  I know that the fundamentals are not stellar but they are improving.  But
that's not my concern right now, I'm just wondering if there's an empirically
sound strategy for entering a stock with this type of basing pattern.  Also, am
I interpreting the chart pattern correctly.  Thanks.

  Bob Hodes
