Most Recent Note for AAPL - 3/15/2012 12:07:45 PM Up for a 7th consecutive gain today and yet another new all-time high. It could go on to produce more climactic gains, however, this well-known tech leader is very extended from any sound base pattern, making it a risky candidate. Prior notes acknowledged the considerable rally since the previously noted "breakaway gap" on 1/25/12 from an advanced "3-weeks tight" base pattern.

Most Recent Note for CECE - 3/15/2012 12:19:30 PM Encountering distributional pressure after a spurt of volume-driven gains.
