Like I said, and others can probably confirm, strict adherence to CANSLIM 
would limit your losses to about 15% of your capital. My losses have been 
less than that since March 2000. And I did not practice strict CANSLIM 
since then (nor did I set out to) on my entire portfolio. However only the 
CANSLIM trades have made any money. Without the non-CANSLIM trades and 
funds, I would have probably shown a meager profit from March 2000 to today.
