While RBD is quite a volatile stock, the underlying trend is unmistakable. It has been in a linear downtrend for years. For a while it looked as though it had found support at 80 cents, but today RBD broke below that level, making a new long-term low.

The confirmed trendline shown here has a "slope" of -20%. In other words, since mid 2005, RBD's shareprice has fallen, on average, 20% every year. What price dividends?

Snoopy, I believe that one of these days you may well be finally "right" about RBD and the shareprice might begin to climb. In the meantime though, you have paid a very high opportunity cost for holding this stock.

I know I have said this before and must sound like a cracked record, but why not wait until the trendline is broken before buying?
