Upon second thought, I think the stock is well over its 5% buy point which using the CANSLIM method I would estimate to be in the $112 range.  Therefore, IM OUT!

Update 07/15:

The only reason I got "bearish" on ATW is that I thought it was passed its buy point according to the CANSLIM method.  It just so happened that the stock colapsed.  I wish I could contribute the 55% gain on ATW to my excellent stock selection skills - unfortunately I cannot.  This bear market has taught me a hard lesson - the "M" in CANSLIM is vital!  Even some of my energy stocks which I was sure were going to take off with the energy shortage tanked with the rest of the market.
