SILC: Trick...Or Treat?







(Click On Charts To Enlarge)

From October 31, 2007 (Halloween) entry:

"Bear markets descend on a cushion of hope." At yesterday's close, SILC broke below the BIG Symmetrical Triangle, putting a downside target of 7.54 IN PLAY (the height of the pattern, subtracted from the point of the breakdown)."

I've been reviewing some of my past posts. Chart #1 is from that October 31, 2007 post, when SILC broke down in the $17's. In Chart #2, we can see that the 7.54 downside target MADE earlier this summer, and even beyond that, to 5.29.

Lesson: it pays to take breaks of important support seriously.
