IMO, breakout board is a 'relative' indicator useful at time of decision making...NOT an indicator of direction. Useful as part of DD but it must be considered "too inaccurate" for any consideration of fact. Data is relative in that it is NOT time sensitive but depends on a factor such as 'old data' where timeliness is not key...a moment in time where you just don't really know when....similar to the OTC report on O/S...but still a useful bit of information when deciding what to buy, when to buy, how many and of course, a consideration when selling as well.
See, I can complicate ANY request for a simple clarification msg!
