3/18/2011 4:40:53 PM - Down today, slumping further below its 50 DMA line and below recent lows near $20. Its close below old high closes from July - August 2010 raises more serious concerns.

3/17/2011 11:24:02 AM - G - Up today, but still trading below its 50 DMA line, and the longer it lingers below that important short-term average the worse its outlook gets. Further deterioration under recent lows near $20 and more damaging losses would trigger more worrisome technical sell signals.
