Laurie Shark breakouts are for medium to long term holds. Indicators should be used to time exits. They are generally thought of as reversal patterns. No set % or time frame to look for on a shark breakout. ht david

Laurie, When the comkey hits are listed on the thread I first do the trend line stuff and pattern scrutiny on the price chart. I first toss out those that look like they've come too far too fast (keeping in mind the usual activity on as long term a chart as I can get) and therefore are more likely to have a lower potential upside. Then I go to the SMI stuff and my entire range of stochastics parameters looking for the usual stuff...solid uptrends with acceleration, breakouts from downtrends and patterns and xovers. I check other RSI periods and the PVI/NVI, AD, OBV and the range of MFI parameters I like. I'll also check the MA/MLR with several time periods and of course, the BBs. Based on the price chart stuff so far, INTAF and PIOG look like the two with the most potential. I'm currently checking PIOG's technicals. Doug R
