A reminder on technical analysis. Trendlines while predicting future, it is really a day to day charting. Anytime, the table may be turned; breakdown or breakout may happen. So I have developed micro technical analysis where you do TA on the fly and do trendlines, overbought and oversold on the intraday chart as it developed under your very eyes. A note of caution. Amateur investors tend to write emotions rather than good analysis. Pump and dump or bad mouth the stock to gain an entry point is obvious after a while(they write "retrace" instead of "pull back"; retrace is a repeat of a former curve not pull back to a former price on any past curve). SEC watches out for pump and dump. But bad mouth for lower price usually come back to hurt the would be stockholder, if he buys slightly lower. Bad mouthing may start an avalanche. Experts do not write anything except good points on any company; and will add caution to possible dangers to balance the post on any bulletin boards. And market makers if they invest by building a base usually is not satisfied until their stock goes up at least 300%. Watch the market makers and see if they retrace their usual curves(we call them their signatures, each market makers do their TA curves or signatures differently).
