The "mark-up phase" is certainly the best area for the majority to make their move to the long side. It's normally where I'll add the final 25%-30% of my position in a stock. I like to move earlier, during the accumulation phase when the big boys start doing their thing. That's where the risk/profit is better but the first stages of the "mark-up phase" provide the safest since it's the one where the vast majority of traders and the public see stronger action and thusly feel most comfortable at entering. With the big boys kicking off the move with some big orders and many of the short players covering and then going long (double buying by big players is one of the most bullish signs there is) you get the volume/price moves that catch the attention of just about everyone that's watching the market on a daily basis. It's a good place to be buying . . just don't be too late since the reactions can shake out the weak holders.
