Most Recent Note - 10/14/2020 1:00:42 PM Y - Color code is changed to yellow, however it reversed into the red after gapping up for early gains today challenging its 52-week high and pivot point. New pivot point is cited as it has formed a "double bottom" base. A gain above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Its 50 DMA line ($503.25) and recent low ($458.60 on 9/18/20) define important near term support where any further deterioration would raise more serious concerns and trigger technical sell signals. >>> The latest Featured Stock Update with an annotated graph appeared on 9/29/2020.
