rhubarb, a double top is a graphical pattern, not a time based one. It only starts when the price falls below the mid point.
if you had a lot of money to play with, and your 2007 bonus depended on getting the best possible return on your money in 2007, what would you do? you would take a position in a small cap, encourage it to break out of the stable like mad in Jan, sell it in mar-may somewhere, and use the big gains (only poss with a small cap) as seed capital for the rest of the year. gfm strikes me as a good place to start (as do many other small caps). just watch this in jan.
