Using old reliable Esignal.com you would have seen at the breakout point at around September 30th at the back end of the cup. Little cup, short handle and started to take off. As you said, the horse is out of the gate and around the first turn. As Mr. O'Niel from IBD kept on saying, if the stock hit it's all time high with good earning reports, for for it. Otherwise I would have waited for the next race.
Everybody will tell story's after the fact. But, have somebody tell you the day of the breakout and the race is on having your stop loss orders in tow. We all know where to find the stocks starting the breakout and yet nobody is bold enough to report it. I would, however, somebody has to do the homewerk also to gain experience in recognising them.
