more on the subject of how to read the blog:

note that clicking on the charts enlarges them

note that the top chart in a post is the updater. it shows you the latest data (when you load the post).

then the bottom post in a blog is the first observation.

the history of the trade, if it's not complete in the bottom post, follows, from bottom to top, in the charts above the bottom post and below the top post.

note that clicking on a chart also puts you into a slide show of all the images in the post. which one is the top chart? probably the first slide ... but i have to wait to test that.

note that it is cavalier of me to say it's safe to hold through dips ... although, if the stock is fundamentally sound then that's the practice of the all time most successful investors. the question is, are we sufficiently knowledgeable to assess the fundamentals? it always worries me. that's why i am studying these chart patterns. how well will they perform? only time will tell. in the posts or in the slide shows, study the updaters versus the historical charts. return to them again and again. schedule reviews of older posts at intervals of months.
