>>I'm hoping Gemstar will finally break through the overhead resistance. <<

Hi Uncle, I am wondering about your meaning here.

In technical analysis terminology, as I understand it, "overhead resistance" refers to the difficulty of a stock to rise after it has fallen. The reason being that people who bought higher will sell as the stock moves up - since for many it is human nature to bail out on a loser once you can break even. A stock has overhead resistance until it reaches a new high - then it is in "blue sky" territory - and with no more overhead resistance, can run up unfettered (such as QCOM has). GMST broke to a new high closing high yesterday and an all time high. It exceeded those highs today. Thus no more resistance.
