Barrister Info. Systems--possible breakout from awesome base

Emcee:  patwrk Type:  Unmoderated
This company has an awesome long term chart accumulation base pattern. I took a modest position at $1 a few weeks ago after noticing a 1999 breakout on a long term chart. The chart demonstrates an awesome multiyear flat low volume base acummulation pattern. In 1986 the stock price was well over a hundred dollars and that was pre 1991 1 for 6 reverse split! Recent days have seen a pike to $2.50 and was over $4 on the earlier '99 breakout. Company recently claimed they have no explanation for recent volume and price rise but at the same time came out with some positive news. Could it be that the strong hands are finally getting ready to let this puppy soar? I'm not sure so have taken an initial positon and am watching for signs to buy more. Already at about 100% up but looks like potential here is huge once those that control the stock decide to let it fly!
