It was also encouraging
to see breakouts such as Vista

succeed on heavy volume.

have powered back towards new highs as well. One thing to keep an eye on is
that volume eventually comes in to support any move to the upside.

has made a strong move off its 50-day
moving average and looks to be consolidating. Stocks like this may perform well
into the end of this year.

you at the Trader’s Expo this past weekend in Las Vegas. Best of luck
trading and have a great Thanksgiving!
