Most Recent Note - 4/29/2014 12:51:52 PM Y - Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 4/04/14 high. The plastics maker separated its ethylene assets into a tax-advantaged partnership in which it plans to sell shares to the public. Gapped up today for a considerable volume-driven gain and a new 52-week high, rallying from a "double bottom" base. Quarterly earnings increases have been above the +25% minimum (C criteria) in comparisons through Dec '13. Keep in mind that 3 out of 4 stocks tend to move in the same direction of the major averges (M criteria) and confirming gains from the major averages are still needed as reassurance the broader market is strong.
