I disagree with the premise. I am finding moves last 4-8 months, and often go up 100-300 % in that time frame. The ones with the strongest moves, when breaking out from clear bases, are the ones with great fundamentals and the largest change in ADV.

  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
