Hi Barbara,
It did just break a spread double top (not a triple) and is just below it's bearish resistance and it's sector is in bull alert with a bullish percent of 24. Pretty much all good signs. If it goes to 33, it would break through it's bearish resistance and that would be a pretty good buy signal.

So an answer to your question; there is more risk when buying a stock below it's bearish resistance line. Though, I have been known to buy stocks when they are below the bearish resistance line if other indicators are good. But then again, I play the hardways in craps and will occasionally do a hopping bet (I have a high tolerance to risk).
Tom

Hi Barbara,
Just wanted to add to Toms message.
I always suggest one should have stops on stocks, especially if short term trades. I doubly suggest this if the stock is trading below a bearish support line. I triply suggest this if the relative strength is negative.
If you need help determining stops we can help. You will get the hang of it the more you read charts.
Keep asking the questions, it will all make sense soon.
