Gottfried,

I owned it during that rise. I sold it the second week after hitting 5.04. As it pulled back to consolidate, or form a base, I didn't know how far back she'd fall. Based on the rise it had, a 33% pull back would have been normal. I wasn't willing to experience that pull back. I was able to put the money to use elsewhere earning a profit.

A good base takes at least 7 weeks to form. This one took six but, I didn't fight it. I'll be quick to lock profits in if the breakout shows any weakness.

The only fundamentals I used was I knew the company had a better earnings report than previous quarters. That's all I needed to know, I suppose. Price and volume will tell you everything else that's important.
