LF and I were both right. He called it right on the money
for the first resistance line of 60. Smart cookie. I called
it within a penny at 56--if the stock now starts to
consolidate and move up. The action followed the chart
amazingly. Resistance lines have the habit of become support
lines once a stock has moved above that point. The percentage is good enough to gamble on.

Last May and at the end of June and beginning of July
you will see that TWG tried to break through sixty and
failed a number of times. In May it did spike through
briefly but did not hold. Sixty could be looked at as
a resistance line. Buyers did not consider it worth more
than that. However, there weren't enough movements to the
sixty to form a solid resistance. That was formed closer
to 56 cents. If the stock price had recently breached 56, I'd have assumed that something had happened that was
negative and the stock was toast. The next resistance line
would be in the thirties. That means the next support line is also there. After that you are looking at
a fifteen cent stock. Breach 56 and stay below and it is
time to get out, take your losses and move on or wait to
buy in at the next resistance level.

We use resistance and support in our decision making in
our life every day. I go into the grocery store and think
I'll buy asperagus. It's 2.99 a pound. I buy some. I go
back a week later and it's 4.99 and I pass it up to buy
broccoli at 1.99. I've unconsciously created a resistance
line for asperagus. Maybe it's 3.99. Above that it'snot
worth buying so the 4.99 is outrageously expensive. However, if the price goes up and stays up.
a new idea will form about what asperagus costs, I may
adjust to paying 4.99. Also, the store owner doesn't need
to drop the price below 3.99 (our former top price) to get
us to buy. 3.99 is now a bargain. When we say something is
a good buy or too expensive, we are unconsciously using
support and resistance lines.

When you read about "sticker shock" on new cars, what lies
behind it are psychological support and resistance lines.

I should add that the chart program I'm using (Stockwatch)
is not particularly sophisticated. The graphing leaves me
with having to make estimates. My hand graphing was more
accurate but brutally time consuming. SW charts are good
enough for the decisions I'm making. There are charting
programs that are much more sophisticated.
