I am tempted to sell at least part of my position, since I have been burned recently when a breakout stock gets hit hard and falls back. (I do have a 10% trailing stop in place). But, since the 20% gain had occurred within first 3 weeks of my purchase, my reading of WON says that I should hold on for at least 8 weeks. Also, with the upcoming movie releases of X-men 2 and the Hulk, I would certainly think that the upside for further gains in the near future looks good. Does anyone see anything on the chart that would lead them to any yellow or red flags for selling now?

Granted, after seven straight days of gains, a correction is overdue, but could easily take the form of a sideways move for a week or so, rather than an inversion of price gains. Fundies already look strong, yet market cap/sales ratio still only about 3. The trailing PE is high at 42, but much more moderate using forward PE, which must be the focus. Volume has remained high, and funds ownership is low (6%) suggesting there is a lot of room for funds to jump on the bandwagon, especially if they get excited about upcoming product releases. Likewise, last short position report showed 4 days volume as short, and was up 8%. So the shorts may be already getting squeezed and could be a part of the recent rise in price / volume. But a determined shorter will also be selling more now, at the new, higher prices. Since this is a highly liquid stock trading with a tight spread, and you are already up over 15%, what I would be doing is maintaining a trailing 15% hard stop loss, adjusted up daily as long as it continues to rise. Whether you use intraday high, or closing price, for this adjustment is your choice. This would protect your profit to a degree, and absent a major gap down guarantee you escaping with something to show for taking the risk. My simple indicators I use for target price for exiting (1.5X the 50 DMA and 2X the 200 DMA) suggest a target price short term of the very high teens to low 20s. If it continues to rise over time, a trailing stop loss regularly adjusted will increase your profit potential and hopefully give you enough slack to stay in the stock despite short term corrections. - ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Thursday, April 17, 2003 1:34 PM Subject: [CANSLIM] sell rules and chart reading Hi all, I have a position in Marvel (MVL) and currently am sitting on a profit of 20% +.
