Good question Katherine,

I never had the guts to ask it myself.   I notice that Worden Bros. =
identify stock breakouts or other patterns which suggest an impending up =
move with stocks that would never make Canslim characteristics.   One =
good example from a couple months ago was Immunex (IMNX), which had =
created a huge bowl some 6 to 9 months wide.   A lot of overhead =
resistance had been cleared out, albeit not all of it.  Anyway, I've =
watched it double since then.   Key word here is watch.

I guess the main reason I try to restrict my universe to the "Best" =
fundy companies is that perhaps these companies will move up more =
predictably, and for better reasons, than lesser companies, and perhaps =
will have better persistance with more reasons to remain in the proper =
direction than lesser companies.

Otherwise I'm just a momentum investor.  I don't think I'm interested in =
that game too awful much.  Although as I've confessed before, I did =
trade AMCC a few months ago.  Fallen angel or not, that would have to be =
termed a straight momentum move.

  Proposed:

  If a typical CANSLIM/Intermediate term move in a stock lasts only a =
few weeks, and in good markets, only a few months, why bother selecting =
portfolio candidates using any sort of fundamental analysis? Returns in =
this time period are strictly based on price movement and can be =
maximized based on technical indicators and price/volume action alone.

  Thoughts pro/con?

  Katherine
