Most Recent Note - 3/6/2013 12:18:14 PM G - Spiked further into new 52-week high territory and traded beyond it "max buy" level before erasing much of its early gain. A volume-driven gain above the pivot point cleared the previously noted "double bottom" base pattern and clinched a proper technical buy signal on 3/05/13 as the major averages' gains also confirmed a new rally with a follow-through-day (M criteria). Disciplined investors avoid chasing stocks more than +5% above their pivot point and always limit losses by selling if any stock falls more than -7% from their purchase price. >>> The latest Featured Stock Update with an annotated graph appeared on 3/4/2013.
