ELLIOTT WAVE


Ati Technology Inc.

Ati Technology, Inc. designs, manufactures and markets multimedia solutions and graphics components for the personal computer, digital tv and consumer electronics appliance markets. Management has in the past been raked over the coals for insider trading, but hopefully the company is now clean and management is behaving.

Security:   ATY-T
Position:   Buy

On February 27, 2003, the share price for Ati Technologiy Inc. (ATY-T) bottomed at $5.68, falling from a high of $24.95 reached on January 4, 2002. Since then the share has recovered exceptionally well. Is it worth accumulating now?

Looking at a daily chart you can see the following:

1. An Elliott wave count that suggests the share could be tracing a rather complicated 4th wave retracement. This does look very likely as Wave II was a simple wave. Although I have shown where I believe the 4th wave ends, I have placed an "X" as an alternate low for the completion of the 4th wave.

2. I have drawn a long-term trendline from the start of Wave I and the low of Wave II. This trendline has not been violated and is still in effect.

3. I have drawn a parallel from the top of wave 1. This trendline is acting as a support level for Wave 4.

4. Finally, I have drawn what appears to be a consolidation triangle for Wave 4. This gives me a target of $34.81 should the price break out above $21.36. The target is calculated as follows: $21.49 - $5.68 = 15.81 + 19.00 = 34.81.

At the present price of $21.33 and with a 10% stop-loss, my stop would be at $19.20 with a loss of $2.13. With a profit ratio of 2.5:1, I would need a profit of $5.35. My actual profit, should my target of $34.81 be reached, is $13.48.


I have added this company to my watch list and recommend it as a buy should the price break above $21.36.
