ABIO fits one of my favourite patterns - long base, initial high volume thrust, pullback. I like to buy when the pullback appears done. From my non-scientific observations over the years, I think there's about a 60-70% chance of a strong second move up. Also, the base acts as a well defined support area - good risk/reward setup methinks. On that basis I also bought MCP.
Interesting move on the PMs - maybe santa came early???
