General theory is you buy on the breakout, as it is a general change in stock direction. The past resistance should become support for further gains, or vice versa. The sooner you get in the better of course, but it's a balance. You are right in that sometimes the horse has bolted after you realise a stock has 'broken out', but theory stands the break should continue. You'd expect 37/38 to now be support here so buying above this point there's a probability that it will continue to go up into the future. Having said that there will more than likely be consolidation after the break, as is clearly shown on the AIM chart. You could reasonable expect there to be consolidation from this point, just as it did after the previous breaks. Not sure if that answers the question.Theres the trusty chartist. Ok you have pointed out the break clearly on the chart..on large volume too..would an entry at 40 look good to you. You know with these breaks how confident do you feel that a run would continue? Because its like your buying at the top if you entered now. Just wondering how the chartists think.
