While you usually lose any potential capital gains opportunity, you do create two income streams. In fact, in the latest short report, the total shares increased 20% but the "days to cover" only changed by 0.1 days due the increased ADV.

A D usually means to me that the big guys are still selling, or at least not buying. That of course can change in a heartbeat.

That is the point of a GTC, it's "good" till "cancelled" by the client. From my industry related background, I suspect you will start seeing more of the larger firms accepting Stop Loss or Limit orders on OTC stocks in the future. The key seems to be with whether they make a market. I run most of my OTC trades thru Knight Securities in NYC, and they will take a Stop order on any OTC stock (they are the second largest OTC market maker, Madoff is the largest and I am trying to establish a relationship with them as well).

However, in both cases, the depth of the cup would seem to be defeating. In the case of SDRC, the RS of 56 and EPS of 57 would also defeat any CANSLIM consideration. OK, OK, I know I'm being picky, but I've always been honest in admitting I have (a) a hard time in seeing c&h formations, and (b) am excessively demanding of the formation when I do find one. Actually, I never try to search for them, just try to recognize one when I rarely stumble across it. The ones I have found that way have almost always worked for me. Since many, altho not all, form their handle at or close to their 12 month high, I have concentrated on looking at stocks hitting new highs, which would spot far more possible candidates than just those coming off the handle of a c&h.

The lead question after "when" is "why are they being released late since you understood they would come out on Wednesday?" then follow with "are you comfortable with analyst's projections of XXX for the December quarter" (get XXX from Zacks, First Call, etc).

Giving away Netscape Navigator is simply a marketing strategy to hold onto, or increase, market share. It was already available for free (never could understand the people paying for it!), for example you could call AOL for a free CD and up to 50 free internet hours and get NN on the CD as well since it is their preferred browser. That's where I got my first copy, then downloaded a free newer version later from the net. The good news is their revenues are still growing and they are managing to remain profitable. The chart looks real ugly however. I doubt DEC is a viable buyer for NSCP, having just been the target of a buyout by CPQ. Don't know about any other possible buyers. With a trailing PE of 169, and earnings projections for 1997 indicating they need only 3 cents in Q4 to meet projections, anything is possible but the technicals suggest to me not much is expected out of Q4. However, the forecast for 1998 is for earnings to grow 71%, I would watch for any earnings cuts over the next month or so unless you find a better use for the capital in the meantime. BTW, DG Online indicates the earnings report is due out 1/29, so you could know real quickly what to do. Any statements or opinions are strictly my own and not that of my employer.

I'm looking for ideas on what to do on NSCP(sorry it is not a CANSLIM stock)which I bought a year ago at $42. MSFT encroachment of Browser led NSCP decreasing market share and the stock price also started sliding. Now NSCP announced it will freely distribute the source code of communicator(latest version of browser). Does the announcement will really help to boost the Stock price in future?. Is it good idea to take the losses and get rid of it, before the price goes to 4/5 like IFMX? Or it may be a takeover target(e.g. DEC ), hold till it's actually taken over by good(SUN ?) company.

IBD Investor's Corner says the follow-through day was 1/20 for S&P and Nasdaq, but DOW didn't confirm until Tuesday 1/27. DGOnline doesn't show the S&P volume being higher on 1/20, and Nasdaq volumes looks the same as the day before. I think we agreed that 1/16 was the follow-through day (except for the DOW.) I think we were right and IBD's made a mistake.

Increasing profit margins for me are a positive! It's not growing through its sales, anyway. Joint ventures with TurnerVision and the like; investments by the likes of TCI Cablevision are the reason their chart is so strongly LLUR. It's one of the 4 or 5 best looking sets of numbers out there right now (CASLI); I am waiting for the N to kick it into high gear. IMHO it's not a C&H because the cup is not deep enough (only 301-ish to 27-ish). I classified it as a not-perfect but still strong LLUR before I bot; it passes some pretty rigorous LLUR scans.
