goodbug, here's another view. This is from the "Daily Report" that X_DEV generates when you press the "Report" button on the lab page. Note that price only closed under $38.53 once(on 3/11). The 2/5 close wouldn't count because that was the day X_DEV bought the shares at $38.53. The daily report shows 2/4, but that is the recommendation price for 2/5, not the actual buy date.
Myst: Re BRCM -- I GOT IT!!! Thanks for the time and trouble of explaining (and showing me) exactly how you came up with the $38.53. I now understand why I can't use 3-8-04 when it hit the blue line, and the subsequent 3 lower closes under it, as the point of evaluation of the 3 day rule.
I hope some of the other board members benefited by your generous and patient explanation also. (I've learned a lot from their questions and your answers over the last two years.)
