A stock's "rise" does not occur *in* a base, but *between* bases. Whil= e the price will fluctuate up and down within the base itself, the amount o= f fluctuation will vary depending on the severity of correction and the tim= e it takes to form the area of consolidation. The stock is essentially *absorbing* the gains of its previous advance. 2. When you purchase a stock, you will always purchase it as it *breaks o= ut* of that base. This preferred buy point is referred to as the "pivot" and = is again defined by the pattern that the base forms. 4. When a stock begins a healthy rising pattern after it breaks out, it c= an rise *any* amount before it consolidates (bases) again. There is no hard = and fast rule as to how much it will rise before basing, though WON suggests that if it is >=3D25%, the next base would then be considered a "new stag= e base." This is only important in that his studies show that most stocks can't muster the oomph to keep going after they've reached the 3rd or 4th stage base. 3. Mike's question about a sell rule is not dependent on *which* base in = the base count we are evaluating. A base is a base. If the stock breaks out a= s it should and begins to rise, how are you going to handle selling it when= /if the time comes? 4. WON suggests that, if you buy correctly at the pivot (or no more than = 5% above it), that you should never have to suffer a loss of more than 8%. T= his is because, in his studies, he has found that a healthy stock never falls more than 8% below the pivot before continuing a healthy advance. 5. Mike's question, specifically, was "if a stock breaks out of a base, t= hen rises 10-15%, then falls back, where do you place your sell stop? 8% belo= w your buy price or something other than that?" In other words, should you = be willing to accept *any* loss if a stock has managed to rise 10-15% in 6 w= ks, then falls back to where you bought it. My vote is, if it takes 6 wks to rise and then erases the entire advance, I don't want to take an 8% loss.= If it rose 10-15% in *one* week and then fell back on low volume, I'd look a= t that as "normal" and might consider it a second chance to *buy* more.

Katherine-here=  are my other questions-1) a new stage base is one of the bases(side= movement ) between the 1 or 4 healthy rises( uptrends) in a stock, = while starting to count bases over again is done when a stock breaks down= and dips below the low point of the previous base.  2)If a stock br= eaks down after the 3rd or 4th rise and must undercut the previous l= ow to restart base count would someone like me a)let it drop to your buy = point b)let it drop 8% below c)let it drop to undercut the low of th= e previous base d) don't buy in on the 3rd or 4th base or rise because it= may fail.    3) The difference in your response seems to = be the lenght of time it took the stock to rise.  My thinking is tha= t a stock that shoots up quickly will have profit taking  and if it = is healthy will turn up again( kind of like the handle in CWH)  whil= e a stock that takes 6 weeks to rise should be stronger by then and if it= falls it probably never was a strong stock.( leaving out horrible days i= n the market when all falls.) Please excuse my ignorance but the only way= I know if I am progressing is to see how much I am missing.  Thanks= again-I know you are a busy person  Nancy

Hi Nancy,

L= et me try and clear up some of your confusion:

1. A stock's "rise"= does not occur *in* a base, but *between* bases. While
the price will= fluctuate up and down within the base itself, the amount of
fluctuati= on will vary depending on the severity of correction and the time
it t= akes to form the area of consolidation. The stock is essentially
*abso= rbing* the gains of its previous advance.

2. When you purchase a s= tock, you will always purchase it as it *breaks out*
of that base. Thi= s preferred buy point is referred to as the "pivot" and is
again defin= ed by the pattern that the base forms.

4. When a stock begins a he= althy rising pattern after it breaks out, it can
rise *any* amount bef= ore it consolidates (bases) again. There is no hard and
fast rule as t= o how much it will rise before basing, though WON suggests
that if it = is >=3D25%, the next base would then be considered a "new stage
bas= e." This is only important in that his studies show that most stocks
c= an't muster the oomph to keep going after they've reached the 3rd or 4th<= BR>stage base.

3. Mike's question about a sell rule is not depende= nt on *which* base in the
base count we are evaluating. A base is a ba= se. If the stock breaks out as
it should and begins to rise, how are y= ou going to handle selling it when/if
the time comes?

4. WON su= ggests that, if you buy correctly at the pivot (or no more than 5%
abo= ve it), that you should never have to suffer a loss of more than 8%. This=
is because, in his studies, he has found that a healthy stock never f= alls
more than 8% below the pivot before continuing a healthy advance.=

5. Mike's question, specifically, was "if a stock breaks out of a= base, then
rises 10-15%, then falls back, where do you place your sel= l stop? 8% below
your buy price or something other than that?" In othe= r words, should you be
willing to accept *any* loss if a stock has man= aged to rise 10-15% in 6 wks,
then falls back to where you bought it. = My vote is, if it takes 6 wks to
rise and then erases the entire advan= ce, I don't want to take an 8% loss. If
it rose 10-15% in *one* week a= nd then fell back on low volume, I'd look at
that as "normal" and migh= t consider it a second chance to *buy* more.
