LF failed to sustain its move above it's pivot point of $34.77 set on 6/18
today.
The effect of this is that has now set a new pivot point of today's high of
$34.99, with the left side of the cup unchanged at $35.70 on 12/03/02. The
next few days will show if it forms a new handle and presents another valid
entry point. If it were to do so, the action in the right side of the cup
leading up to the new pivot point would not seem to favor a strong breakout
from the new pivot point.
Aloha,

I personally hate watching something like the LF scenario, and having to
make the choice to sell off a stock that may be doing okay, that is giving
no sell signs, in order to free up capital to make the purchase. Then of
course, the new stock reverses, and the one you sold takes off to the
sky.....
Thanks for letting me hop on the "things that frustrate investors"
bandwagon. You Texans sure know how to draw a wagon train! :)

Please respond to
canslim
Kelly,
Sounds like you are asking if there is any way we
could figure out a way to predict the future. :).
j/k.
In any case, I know how you feel. I think everyone
here has been in that situation at one time or
another, and probably more times. Actually, it
happens to me a few times the last few months. Been
eyeing a stock for a long time, and seeing it about to
BO. Then it BO with a %10+ price. Then I just jump
up and down and curse at the air. :).
Look at the bright side, it is still withing the entry
point.
Your Fellow Texan,
tomas
