An Elliott wave count shown on the chart suggests that the share price could be completing WAVE 3 and could fall in a WAVE 4 to either $115.32 or $97.59. The RSI indicator is at overbought levels but has not yet suggested a sell. Volume fell as the price rose, suggesting weakness. |

| The chart in Figure 3 is a daily Omnitrader chart with the Vote line suggesting a buy on August 21 based on the JM and Vervoort Stop strategies shown in green below the Vote line. The share price is testing the upper Bollinger Band, suggesting that a correction is on the cards. |

| The weekly Omnitrader chart in Figure 4 shows a buy signal given on the Vote line on August 14 based on all three strategies below the Vote line. The RSI indicator is at overbought levels and starting to trend down but has not yet given a sell signal by falling below the 70 horizontal. AMT is a share that should always be on one's watchlist. The share is an up, up and away share, and once the correction suggested by the charts is complete, it is a share for buy and hold. |
