Most Recent Note - 10/20/2020 12:29:03 PM Y - Due to report earnings news today after the close. There was a "negative reversal" noted on 10/14/20 after gapping up challenging its 52-week high and pivot point. New pivot point was cited as it formed a "double bottom" base. A subsequent gain and close 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 ($506) 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 10/15/2020.
