Most Recent Note - 3/31/2015 1:13:08 PM Y - Down on higher volume today - action indicative of distributional pressure. Hit a new 52-week high and rallied above its pivot point but with volume only +28% above average on the prior session. No resistance remains due to overhead supply. Gains above the pivot point must have at least +40% above average volume to trigger a convincing technical buy signal. Pyramiding is a tactic taught in the Certification that allows investors to let market action help to dictate entries and weighting into each new position purchased. >>> The latest Featured Stock Update with an annotated graph appeared on 3/16/2015.
