Better is IP21>.50 and under <.80. AI/200 should be above 138 ... Better is AI/200 >150. Red high volume & gaps confirm the breakout. Stocks should probably be over $10 unless you watch them closely. ITRS>-.04 and under .80* Notes: ...Many times a flat topped breakout that is exactly defined and well-tested brings a quick move of 15%. Of the conditions above, the least important is probably the AI/200 value being above 140. ITRS should be above -.04. ...An earlier IP21 bulge above .50 is bullish. Confirming OBV makes the run more certain. ...Breakouts from Piggy-back patterns just above the flat topped patterns usually mean much higher prices. Normally we screen with "NEWHIGH" list plus "IP21OV25". Point of breakout tells you where to expect support on first decline. Look also for OBV confirmations, gaps and high volume. *Stocks Making New Highs on Friday: ABX 36.65 +.45 Breakout at 35. IP21is barely positive. OBV confirming...

Consider the case of STV in June. On the other hand, if a B12 occurs on a line formation breakout, do not look for a pullback for a while. See this in USLM in February. The best B12s occur with the stock making a new high. Previous week's B12 should be bought on pullbacks to rising mas and at point of breakout. IP21 should be greater than 147 in this environment. Buy B12 AI/200 must equal at least 120. NH must be occurring. B12 recently AI/200 ============ ======= BIW 110 very thin CVGW 167 19.50 +.16 breakout at 14.80 Powerful uptrend despite market decline.

OBV confirming. --- BUY --- chart attached. ______________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ *** BEARISH Stocks *** One of best places to short a weak stock is after it drops back below 50-day ma and its IP21 drops below its TISI (the 21-day ma of its IP21. IP21 = the current value of the Accum Index. ITRS should be below -.10. Best to watch ITRS, too. Short sales should normally be in ITRS downtrends. In a strong market, it is often best to simply use a Buy Stop above| 21-day ma.
