We are Bullish on this name for the following reasons:

1. The stock has formed "cup and handle "pattern.
   
2. This stock is expected to be featured by a major stock avisory service as a value stock. There are many mutual funds that are mandated to buy these "value stocks." This stock has an average daily trading volume of 82K. The new demand for the shares will push shares out of its bullish "cup and handle."
