One back-test isn't enough, of course, and that last report could be
misleading. I back-tested the Breakout scan today, and got
disappointing results this time. It must have been an unlucky day for
breakouts -- either that or yesterday's "correction" smeared some
red ink over the results. Here's the 10-day performance of stocks
found with the Breakout scan 10 days ago.
