7/20/2004 4:15:00 PM - Decent price progress yet less than average volume as bounced at 50 DMA. Continues trending fairly well overall, provided it stays above its 50 DMA (now $41.86).  Announced earnings call for August 5, 2004

7/21/2004 4:15:00 PM - Broke under and closed below its 50 DMA on just above average volume. June lows were found at prior chart resistance near $40, making that a key support level.  Announced earnings call for August 5, 2004

5/28/2004 4:15:00 PM - After moving to new highs intra-day close with a slight gain. Volume above average.

5/27/2004 4:15:00 PM - Big volume break out today. (see above story)

5/26/2004 4:15:00 PM - Small loss on about average volume. Limited overhead supply remaining.  A breakout above $40 with high volume would be a technical buy signal. Coverage recently initiated by UBS

5/25/2004 4:15:00 PM - Nice gain on above average volume, moving up from near support at 50 DMA. Limited overhead supply remaining.  A breakout above $40 with high volume would be a technical buy signal. Coverage recently initiated by UBS.

5/24/2004 4:15:00 PM - Closed with a loss while recent volume is steadily decreasing and it is still holding up well in a range just above its 50 DMA. Coverage recently initiated by UBS.

5/17/2004 4:15:00 PM - Reversed from 50 DMA. Volume average. A breakout above $40 from the stock's long flat base would be a more significant buy signal, especially with volume showing conviction. Stock is among the most buyable candidates under the guidelines

5/14/2004 4:15:00 PM - Closed with a loss on lighter volume.  Note how intra-day gains Thursday and Friday had reversed at each day's close, a sign it is still facing some resistance.  A breakout above $40 from the stock's long flat base would be a more significant buy signal, especially with volume showing conviction. Stock is among the most buyable candidates under the guidelines

5/13/2004 4:15:00 PM - Moved rather impressively to top of channel/range then backed off to close near session lows. A break out of this channel (above $40) would be significant. Stock is still buyable

5/12/2004 4:15:00 PM - After rather impressive day yesterday it dipped intra-day then closed with less of a loss on above average volume. A break out of this channel (above $40) would be significant.

5/11/2004 4:15:00 PM - Nice up day with volume conviction. A break out of this channel (above $40) would be significant.

5/10/2004 4:15:00 PM - Ends session with a considerable loss yet still above support.

5/7/2004 4:15:00 PM - Closed near session lows on above average volume, but far less volume than the 5/3 to 5/5 up volume

5/6/2004 4:15:00 PM - Loss today was minor after three day rise on heavy volume.  Noted here on 4/22 as "Biotech Leader Offers Another Buying Opportunity".

5/4/2004 4:15:00 PM - Gapped up at open and built on a powerful gain with 4X average volume after a very positive earnings announcement and increased guidance. Noted here on 4/22 as "Biotech Leader Offers Another Buying Opportunity" (See above story)

5/3/2004 4:15:00 PM - Decent gains. Prior lows in March now offer support near $33 though 50 DMA acts as resistance. Soaring in after hours trading (+$2.79 at 6:11PM) on very positive earnings announcement and increased guidance.

6/30/2004 4:15:00 PM - Managed another new high close today and continues uptrend with seventh consecutive up session after recent retest of support ($40).  Volume has been decreasing and below average the past three days.  (see above article)

6/29/2004 4:15:00 PM - Continues uptrend from recent retest of support ($40) yet volume decreasing.  Managed a new high close today on about average volume.

6/25/2004 4:15:00 PM - Rose a fourth consecutive day, today on above average volume and to close 34 cents off its best-ever close.  Bounced impressively off $40 support at prior resistance level. 

6/24/2004 4:15:00 PM - Third consecutive day of gains on average or less than average volume, still a nice bounce off the $40 area previously noted here as important support provided by old resistance level. 

6/23/2004 4:15:00 PM - Continued upward after a bounce off the $40 area previously noted here as important support provided by old resistance level.  It broke above a brief downward trend line today, but only average volume accompanied the rise.

6/22/2004 4:15:00 PM - Apparently bouncing from support area that we previously noted ($40), but lighter than average volume leaves it in need of some follow through.

6/21/2004 4:15:00 PM - Continues trending downward on less than average volume though still just above chart support at $40. A convincing break below $40 would be a concern if volume increases above normal.

6/18/2004 4:15:00 PM - Ended with a loss on less than average volume, its seventh loss in eight sessions.  Still holding up above chart support at $40. (see above article)

6/9/2004 4:15:00 PM - Considerable loss on just above average volume.

6/8/2004 4:15:00 PM - Closes with a loss on just above average volume. Still in steep uptrend.

6/7/2004 4:15:00 PM - Reverses intra-day to finish with a gain. Volume average.

6/4/2004 4:15:00 PM - Reverses yesterday's action and closes near highs on above average volume.

6/3/2004 4:15:00 PM - Closes at lows on about average volume. First down day since nice advance. Support at $40.

7/12/2004 4:15:00 PM - Decent price progress to stay above 50 DMA, yet volume was light. Key support at $40 near June lows.

7/13/2004 4:15:00 PM - Another day with decent price progress to stay above 50 DMA and above prior chart lows, but volume was lighter than average.

7/14/2004 4:15:00 PM - Slight gain after intra-day being higher. Treading fairly well overall, provided it stays above the 50 DMA.  Announced earnings call for August 5, 2004

7/15/2004 4:15:00 PM - Loss and close near lows with volume somewhat light. Trending fairly well overall, provided it stays above its 50 DMA.  Announced earnings call for August 5, 2004

7/16/2004 4:15:00 PM - Loss and close near low with volume lighter. Trending fairly well overall, provided it stays above its 50 DMA (now $41.72).  Announced earnings call for August 5, 2004
