Hmmmm Greg. I guess we're just looking at things differently here regarding ac. By my eyes, the "perfect downtrend" would have had it strongly testing or breaking $6.00 today. It didn't. And on a day too when the market in general certainly wasn't offering a helping hand for buoyancy....in fact, the opposite..... AC resisted. It would have actually closed flat on the day except for a very few trades that went through at $6.05 By my (rough) count:

About 20,000 shares traded at $6.05
About 330,000 shares traded at $6.10
About 430,000 shares traded at $6.15
About 55,000 shares traded at $6.20

Now I know a lot of people pay attention to the "closing" price. When I'm looking for the bottom on something, I tend to be a little more interested in where it's "really" trading during the day. Clearly today, AC is a $6.10 to $6.15 stock.

Now if you put one of those more representative numbers through into your charts, you will get a different story than just looking at a $6.05 close which only represented a whopping 2.5% of the total trading volume today.

Could AC go down further? Sure it can. Anything can happen I suppose. But from where I saw it really trading today, it was showing some definite strength that has been lacking for the past week or so. This is why I bought.

Regards,

Kevin
