Breakouts that retreat intraday?

    Matt, Steve, others:

    How do you view b/o's that retreat intraday? We are seeing this right now w/ BRKR and GEOY.  Is this a redflag to be cautious of them (if you didn't already buy) or is it simply a good opportunity to get in on an intraday low?

    yeah especially when the market

    yeah especially when the market is extended and we have a FED meeting tomorrow, I think now is the time to play the trend, but to be pickier and choosier about longs, i.e. filter them out with volume, only take the ones taking the best volume, and use the baseball analogy i.e. don't try to swing for the fences home runs, instead try to hit singles only and take your profits.

    frtaylor - I typically avoid low volume breakouts as they have a higher propensity to fail.
