no oxymoron, just experience and knowing where I can afford to bend / =
break the rules.

I have long held that the greatest value of CANSLIM is the ability to =
tailor it to the investor's experience, risk tolerance, effort, =
interests, etc.

      You were fully invested last year long and made a net profit? You =

            I find it almost absurd that WON discourages shorting. =
Almost all of WON's ideas appear to have originated with Jesse =
Livermore, who made the bulk of his money on the short side. The rules =
for selling a big CANSLIM winner make for perfect short candidates. =
Although selling a failed breakout as it returns into its base is NOT =
typically a good short candidate. JMHO.

              Even if we have a FTD from here, I see few stocks worth =
buying.  However, my short list is overflowing.  The only moderately =

that are riding their lower channel.

              Is shorting considered off limits for this list?  I know =
that WON discourages it, but he also claimed to make good money from =
shorts in HTMMIS.  As I understand it, he discourages it as a medium for =
the masses, nor necessarily for everyone. =20
