Hi Dave,

I call something like this a "slow breakout." In the strictest definition of the
term, a breakout is simply a trade above an identifiable pivot, regardless of
volume. In FDRY's case, it formed a 6-1/2 week flat base from 18.51 (7/8/03)
until yesterday's rise above the 18.51 pivot. Trading activity which supports
this rise above recent consolidation is positive. It's not uncommon for a stock
to trade above average, but below the required 140-150% ADV on the actual
breakout day. In a case like this the action in the next day or 2 confirms the
move and collectively shows the high volume accumulation of shares above the
pivot. In retrospect, if one were to view the B/O on a weekly chart, they would
then see the requisite high volume move.

Katherine

  Hi,

  I did not buy FDRY on yesterday's breakout because volume wasn't up 130%. But
I have been watching it today, and have a question. When the stock trades back
to its breakout range ( 18.56-18.61) some larger trades occur. I saw an 800,400,
and 10,000 share trade go by at these prices. Does this indicate institutions
are supporting the breakout? Is this generally a good sign?

  Thanks,

  Dave
