Jesse LivermoreNo breakouts today. That is the market telling me it is not ready to move. Thirty-five stocks hovering near resistance means they are building a base, but a base is worthless until price proves it with volume. ALNT, BAGX, FDS failed—good riddance. I never mourn a stock that does not act right; I simply cross it off the list. The line of least resistance is still sideways, so I sit on my hands and wait. Patience is not inactivity; it is the highest form of action.
