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

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.
