Jesse LivermoreSeventy-six candidates and not one breakout — that tells me the market is marking time, not offering opportunity. Twenty-six approaching the line is where I keep my attention, but approaching is not crossing, and I never buy anticipation. The three failures, ANF, ELF, GDDY, are the useful lesson: they tried and were refused, so I leave them alone. I wait for price to prove itself, then I probe small and pyramid only when the tape confirms.
