Casaubon,

If I had seen it when it first cleared 9_1/2 with good volume I might have bought it as a breakout, but after betting on it going higher the last two times it got in the 9+ range I was not inclined to chase it. In fact, I sold my long position for a decent profit when it appeared unable to break 9_1/2 a few days ago. I decided not to sell 7_1/2 calls (that I regretted not selling the last time; sold 10s instead), and didn't want to be locked in with 10s if it pulled back again.

I really didn't see anything recent prior to today that I would call an explosion. What I did see was one more in a series of retreats from the upper BB with high RSI and OBV on the daily chart, at a price in the 9 to 9_1/2 range, although I guess this time was different in that it didn't pull back so dramatically. All that is changed now. With this definitive move, I think your bullish outlook going forward has merit, and buying a pullback makes a lot of sense. Assuming you are right about the head and shoulders pattern with a neckline at 13, where does that put the target? (I've never taken the trouble to get that H&S numerology in my brain.)

IFMX finally breaking pass $10.00 in a long time. I'm still
holding the Feb. 7.5s CC which I'm slightly pass the B.E.for
the CCs. I picked up 2 1/8 each. I can now use that CC money
to buy long calls and ride IFMX price movements. I'm into
long term capital gains territory come Dec. 1, 1999.

This is the time for me to decide to go for long call ITM
sideshows for say the JAN calls.
