Price is there, but once again, the volume is way too low to count as a
breakout.

Hi Mike,

Let me answer your question generically, as I think it provides the
explanation without going into site-specific details and so is more
appropriate for discussion here on the list.

The first clue is to look at COLM's base as of 5/28/03.

http://www.cwhcharts.com/katherine/COLM052803.JPG

The question is, as of today, is COLM still in the base? Take a look of the
close-up action since 5/28:

http://www.cwhcharts.com/katherine/COLM053003.JPG

Notice that on 5/29, COLM attempted a breakout, but while the stock closed
above the pivot, it did not actually breakout, because volume was too low.
In short, COLM is no longer in its base. This happens to stocks and is the
reason one would want to be watchful of both recent attempted breakouts
that
are still near their pivot (thus yours and Ed's interest in COLM), and also
stocks that have recently staged a successful breakout on volume but are
still within 5% of the original pivot. The point with COLM is that it has
hesitated near its logical area of support. The lack of conviction on the
move here shows that there is not yet enough buying power to enable it to
completely break free of the  base. While "worth watching" it's not
currently *in* the base, and therefore, not on our current watchlist.

From here one of several things can happen:
(1) COLM will pull back fairly significantly and form a "fresh" handle. The
new pivot would then be the $49.50 high set on 5/29.
(2) COLM will fail altogether and roll back into its base.
(3) COLM will hesitate here and then gather steam and forge ahead. This
"multi-day" breakout is relatively common, but I don't know that I've ever
seen statistics on the success rates of multi-day breakouts vs. strong
breakouts on volume in a single day, so couldn't give you a good
risk-assessment clue.

Katherine

Interestingly enough,  I reached the same conclusion.  Thanks for the
input.  So back onto COLM, I saw that it was not on a watchlist at
cwhcharts , do you know why?

Hi Mike,

Interestingly, THO and COLM have very similar fundamental (CEF) component
scores. THO=8.6 to COLM=8.59 (max 11). COLM pulls ahead in the overall CE
score thanks to a far better technical (CET) component score. COLM=6.32 and
THO =4.63 (max 7)

As a further means of distinguishing between the stocks, I think the real
tale is told when looking at THO's Industry condition:

http://www.cwhcharts.com/katherine/BldgMobileRV052303.JPG

For me, that's reason enough to eliminate THO as a comparative potential
investment.

This is another one  that seems to be breaking out from a cwh.  Between it

Price is there, but once again, the volume is way too low to count as a
breakout.

It's breaking out as we speak.  I might be a little premature, but it's
getting close.

Hi Mike,

Let me answer your question generically, as I think it provides the
explanation without going into site-specific details and so is more
appropriate for discussion here on the list.

The first clue is to look at COLM's base as of 5/28/03.

http://www.cwhcharts.com/katherine/COLM052803.JPG

The question is, as of today, is COLM still in the base? Take a look of
the
close-up action since 5/28:

http://www.cwhcharts.com/katherine/COLM053003.JPG

Notice that on 5/29, COLM attempted a breakout, but while the stock
closed
above the pivot, it did not actually breakout, because volume was too
low.
In short, COLM is no longer in its base. This happens to stocks and is
the
reason one would want to be watchful of both recent attempted breakouts
that
are still near their pivot (thus yours and Ed's interest in COLM), and
also
stocks that have recently staged a successful breakout on volume but are
still within 5% of the original pivot. The point with COLM is that it
has
hesitated near its logical area of support. The lack of conviction on
the
move here shows that there is not yet enough buying power to enable it
to
completely break free of the  base. While "worth watching" it's not
currently *in* the base, and therefore, not on our current watchlist.

From here one of several things can happen:
(1) COLM will pull back fairly significantly and form a "fresh" handle.
The
new pivot would then be the $49.50 high set on 5/29.
(2) COLM will fail altogether and roll back into its base.
(3) COLM will hesitate here and then gather steam and forge ahead. This
"multi-day" breakout is relatively common, but I don't know that I've
ever
seen statistics on the success rates of multi-day breakouts vs. strong
breakouts on volume in a single day, so couldn't give you a good
risk-assessment clue.

Katherine

Katherine,

Interestingly enough,  I reached the same conclusion.  Thanks for the
input.  So back onto COLM, I saw that it was not on a watchlist at
cwhcharts , do you know why?

Hi Mike,

Interestingly, THO and COLM have very similar fundamental (CEF)
component
scores. THO=8.6 to COLM=8.59 (max 11). COLM pulls ahead in the overall
CE
score thanks to a far better technical (CET) component score. COLM=6.32
and
THO =4.63 (max 7)

As a further means of distinguishing between the stocks, I think the
real
tale is told when looking at THO's Industry condition:

http://www.cwhcharts.com/katherine/BldgMobileRV052303.JPG

For me, that's reason enough to eliminate THO as a comparative potential
investment.

Katherine

This is another one  that seems to be breaking out from a cwh.  Between
it
and COLM, COLM has slightly better CE scores, so I am leaning towards
it.

Subject: Re: [CANSLIM] COLM

Michael:

If you check the 2 year chart of COLM, you see a multi-bottomed base which 
broke out via the upgap of April 2003, without bothering to form a handle.  But 
after breaking out, COLM shook out a few more "shaky" investors by correcting 
on pretty heavy volume.  Then it recovered.  So what to do?

Look at the numbers.  Pretty good history.  5 yr. average EPS growth 22%.  
But projected growth this year and next only 11-12%.  So why the sudden 
enthusiasm reflected by the upgap of April?  Because COLM came out with a 42% 
"surprise" over street estimates of EPS for most recent quarter!  Why?  I don't know.  
One-time "bonanza"?  Any evidence of ability to maintain such surprises?  
Don't know those things either.

Seems to me that anyone would want to find all that out before laying money 
on a situation like COLM's. 

The chart sheds light on timeliness, but not worthiness.

Dave

Mike

It come down to what your plan and rules are for
yourself for  buying a stock. Does one of your rules
allow you to buy a stock "breaking out" with less than
150% average volume?  If yes, then buy it. If no, then
stick to your plan and move on to another stock.

If you have strict rules and discipline, you wouldn't
be tempted.  If you do not have rules for yourself,
you will always be able to come up with some sort of
excuse to buy something.
