Hi Victor,

I'll leave the specific analysis of the DCOM chart to somebody = else, but in=20 the meantime, here's something to get you started:

Question
	Can a double-bottom base have a handle, or is = it just=20 the start of another base?

	Answer
	In a double-bottom base, the = pivot (buy)=20 point typically occurs when the stock clears the peak in the = middle of the=20 W-shaped pattern. Sometimes, double bottoms will = form=20 handles before they reach this point. In those situations, the = pivot point=20 is when the stock clears the highest price point in the handle = area. The=20 handle should drift downward slightly and usually form over a = period of=20 one to seven weeks. Course 1 in the IBD Learning Center on = our Web=20 site has a lesson on chart reading.

Subject: [CANSLIM] DCOM - B/O = rules

MessageOn Wedsday's edition (today) IBD listed DCOM as = b/o from=20 a double
bottom. On Tuesday IBD weblink said " ... Dime hit = 25.94=20 Monday, just

As a newbie trying to = learn=20 more about charts and breakouts, this seems like
a great example to = check=20 my understanding.

If I am getting it right, the reason why DCOM = is=20 deemed to have b/o is
because of the following two = easons:

a) It=20 closed at 26.90 having achieved an high of 27.0, and that is above=20 the
previous high of 26.80 back in May 17, 2002.

b) The new = high was=20 achieved at a volume 1,056,800 which is 378% up from the
day before = and=20 four times the average daily volume of 221,100

What is the = exact rule=20 for a breakout mathematically? (Lets say that I were
to program it = in say=20 Metastock?)

Base on this case I can see two rules at least (in=20 pseudo-code):

IF today's high is greater than the previous high = (is=20 this the all time high
or just the rolling 52 week = high?)
AND
IF=20 today's volume is greater than N times the normal volume (is this = some
sort=20 of moving average of the daily volume, or just yeaterday's = volume)
THEN=20 yippe it is a B/O

Is there any "fuzziness" to the above=20 rules?

BTW, the fundamentals on DCOM also look great, ignoring = M for a=20 moment, is
this a valid CANSLIM candidate = stock?
