Larry,
The primary source of new picks for my personal watchlist come from =
daily lists of stocks hitting new 12 month highs. I then look at their =
chart, and fundies. Since the market has already decided that there is =
some reason to be buying them (hence the new high), my job is to pick =
out the ones with good chart formations, and a legitimate reason to be =
moving up. Because I exclude certain industries from consideration, I =
may not always get the ones with the best fundies, but I get ones I am =
comfortable in owning long term.
The watchlist I present in WWW is a little different. There I start with =
stocks with high RS and EPS, as well as close to their 12 month high. =
That gives a blend of both fundies and momentum. And I am only focusing =
on the chart and whether that presents a formation worth watching.

Maybe the question should be, do you get the best fundamental stocks =
and then look at the charts, or get the best charts and then look at the =
fundamentals? Thanks for the watchlist, I appreciate all of the work. =

CANSLIM is designed for individual customization.

Yes, but if you held on to EPIQ through thick and thin, you're =
