William@CANSLIM ResearchOne stock earning its keep out of eighty-two. HAE is acting right, clearing a hundred with volume that tells me the line of least resistance is up. I don’t need to guess why; the tape is the reason. The other forty-four are noise. AIR, CIBR, DIOD broke down—they told me they were wrong, and I listen. I’ll watch HAE for a pullback that holds, then probe. If it stalls, I’m done. Patience is the trade.

Why now: The tape is telling me this stock has finally decided to move—it broke through the $100 mark on volume nearly two and a half times its average, and that is the kind of conviction I respect. The line of least resistance has turned upward, and when a stock acts right after a long base, I don't argue with the price action. I've placed my probe at $100.1, just above the old resistance, and the 4.65% surge confirms the breakout is real, not a false flicker.
Why wait: Waiting for a pullback to a lower price is guessing, and I don't guess—I follow the tape. If it can't hold above $100, my stop at $90 will tell me I was wrong, and I'll take the small loss without hesitation.

What I’d Tell You
When a leader goes through on volume, probe small. When it fails, walk away. When nothing breaks, do nothing. The big money is in the waiting.
