I thought it would be helpful to members to do some quiz questions occasionally, and so as I have a bit of time I've attached is a mystery chart with a set of questions for you to answer.

1. What is the Stage of this stock?
   
2. Is price above a flat or rising 30 week MA?
   
3. What is the volume doing?
   
4. Is the relative performance versus the S&P 500 above or below the zero line?
   
5. Is the relative performance zero line itself down, flattening or rising?
   
6. Is there significant near term resistance?
   
7. Would you buy this stock?
   
8. I've also included the Sector chart and the S&P 500 at the time, so that you can evaluate their Stages also to complete the analysis.
   

- I believe that this a 2a stage. The stock has just broken out of the Stage 1.
- The price is above the MA and the MA is rising slightly.
- The volume has been increasing since December and is about double the volume moving average.
- The Relative Performance is above the zero line having just crossed it.
- The Relative Performance line is flattening.
- There is no significant near resistance; it has just cleared February 2012's high.
- Would I buy this? Yes, for all the reasons listed above.
