If you are
a subscriber to our free newsletter
service, our March issue describes how
to develop a checklist when evaluating
a stock. This will help take some of
the confusion out of decision making.
Currently
on our MSO watch, we have applied the
checklist since March 06.

This pattern
forming is a good set up for a short
term breakout. It would be still advisable
to wait until the trend has broken the
upper resistance trend line (ie: breaks
out of the triangle).
The indicators
applied to this checklist can be read
about on our indicators
page. If you would like to see another
indicator added to this checklist, let
us know.
