Morning, Tom.
It was a funny thing admitting those feelings to the list as I don't =
think I had even admitted it to myself in quite those words. But the =
truth is, I'll go out of my way to help absolutely anybody, share what I =
know so that others can become better investors, and ask plenty of =
questions and listen in order to learn from others and become a better =
investor myself. But by golly....when it comes to my money and the =
issue of privacy....I look at it very differently. There are only of =
couple of things I *won't* do....discuss specifics on performance, tell =
people what stocks I'm looking to buy/short, or reveal the positions I'm =
currently in. Short list, but that's just part of the guidelines I've =
set.=20
I can't say I'm all that thrilled about the list turning into some big =
"collective mining effort," but Duke's a sport for bringing it up and I =
admire his in-your-face attitude about getting the effort underway as =
there *are* list members who will benefit.=20
Have a great day,
Katherine

Katherine, I am quite willing to admit the same thing, I put a huge =
amount of work into my investing, and intend that I benefit from it. My =
style is strictly my own, and I have found that since I gave up handling =
retail clients that I make far better decisions for myself without the =
responsibility for others. I am sure many members must have thought I =
was insane a few weeks ago when I mentioned that I not only fully =
invested my cash acct, but went to the full margin limits as well. =
Despite a very dismal "M" since then, I am up over 13% (and yeah, for =
the doubters I can prove it) and could once again cash out and sit in a =
money market for the rest of the year. But I don't expect to do that, =
since I prefer to be invested than in cash.
Profits can be made on the long side even in a poor market, even if =
shorting, with its higher risks, may be easier. So long as I continue to =
enjoy the challenge, and need to earn extra money, and it continues to =
work for me, I will pursue my style of investing but not share my stock =
picks.

Hi Duke,
I believe that what you are suggesting is something that already =
goes on quite frequently on the list. That is, people share their read =
on a stock from both fundamental and technical perspectives. These =
"examples" as you call them are instructive and I agree with you on that =
count. I have 3 binders full of "lessons" that I've acquired over the =
years from others, from my own observations/successes/failures, from the =
IBD, from 2 of the advanced IBD seminars and from this list. But I still =
won't submit a stock and say "you should buy this because xyz." While I =
am looking to enter a trade or while I am in the trade I really don't =
want to attract *more* eyes to the stock. I would prefer that we =
accomplish what you are suggesting by doing post analysis instead. And =
honestly, why should I submit the conclusions of all my hard work in =
stock selection so that others (especially non-contributors) can make =
money? I'll gladly share knowledge and take on a debate so as to learn =
something, but I won't share stock picks. I'm sure there are others who =
feel the same but are less willing to admit it publicly.

Katherine:
I understand TOTALLY your opinion; I joined this list for many of =
the same reasons you did. =20
But...your rationale for joining this list only SUPPORTS my =
concept. What better way to become adept and expand your horizons =
regarding CANSLIM than with real life, actual examples, I.e., our =
LIMITED submissions of potential CANSLIM stocks (not "stock picks") for =
the Mother List? =20
Have you been to a CANSLIM seminar? I don't know about you, but =
90% of my takeaway is in the form of actual charts illustrating real =
life situations with notes as to the discussions. I see a lot of that =
in the Mother list: Forcing "members" to justify their picks before =
they make this list has immense educational potential. In other words, =
don't tell us you think this is a good pick....tell us WHY!
So, my intent is NOT to have the concept become a list of stock =
picks. Rather, a list of stocks that students of CANSLIM are dxxn near =
willing to fight for; stocks they don't want to see removed from the =
list for this reason or that; stocks they (and all others) can =
potentially make money on. My wording about "CANSLIM this and CANSLIM =
that" was poorly chosen. I didn't mean to imply boredom. But if all =
that CANSLIM this and CANSLIM that is backed up by actual real life, =
this is my money examples....won't it mean more?
(Not to beat a dead horse, but did you see in the Sunday WSJ that =
Southwest Airlines is going to change their system. No more colored =
boarding cards. Even they are looking at the world a bit differently.)
Debate on!

Hi Duke,
I've been mulling over your "mother of all lists" idea all day. =
I understand your desire to share "collective wisdom" regarding stock =
picks, but I don't agree with it, for the same reason you listed in your =
comment (b). Even more so, however, when I was reviewing archives in =
many communities in order to decide which list to join, one of the =
things I looked for was a community that hadn't reduced discussion of =
CANSLIM down to endless stock "picks" but instead a discussion of the =
underlying principles that make CANSLIM tick; processes for finding and =
evaluating stocks; clarifications of investing concepts; and practice in =
the interpretation of technicals, fundamentals, market health and =
CANSLIM guidelines. While some may argue that such discussion makes =
CANSLIM overly complex, I think this is precisely what makes this a =
community that helps to build knowledgeable CANSLIMers. In my mind, it =
is the exchange of ideas and viewpoints, not stock picks, which creates =
value.
Southwest Airlines has had many copycat competitors over the =
years, attracted to the business by the notion that following =
Southwest's "simple" approach to flying was easy and repeatable. All of =
the early copycats' businesses failed because they did not understand =
the most important part of Southwest's strategy, i.e., that many =
dedicated people work exceptionally hard and utilize a complex =
systematic approach to doing business that *appears* to be simple to the =
customers who fly with them.

Being new to this list, I'd like to share a few observations =
and proffer a
what-if.
a) Working through this market, tugging constantly with my =
buy checklist,
it helps to have company that's a) knowledgeable, b) =
successful (or
committed to striving for it), and c) CERTAINLY unbiased!
b) The debate herein over the merits of CANSLIM-this and/or =
CANSLIM-that is
unending (as it should be). The arguments haven't changed =
since the concept
was developed. NO matter how hard we try to stay between the =
lines, we each
have our own variation(s), don't we?
c) It seems we're all watch-listing and waiting, ever =
confident the
market's going to eventually break out ONLY when it's ready =
to. I agree with
Katherine, that we can certainly "mine" some winners these =
days. I've got
two that are showing promise, buy a dozen more I've been =
"whipsawed" out of.
(One thing WON taught me is not to "hide" from my blunders, =
rather study and
learn from them. I still hate doing that!)
I think you'll all agree, trying to unearth the one stock in =
four that
doesn't shake us out unmercifully in this market we're in is =
not fun. So
here's a what if from the glistening Gulf shores of Anna =
Maria Island: Is
it conceivable we might better devote our time to channeling =
our collective
energies toward building "all-star" watch list? One that, =
when the M does
turn, we can be ready in the wings?
Forgive me if the thought isn't totally developed yet (or =
original to this
group), but what if...those interested "sign up" to each =
"nominate" one,
two, or three personal-favorite watch stocks. Ones you'd buy =
for your own
mother! (The "mother" of all lists???) And we take that =
list, follow its
contents' progress together and, on-going, "debate" the merits =
of each
"nomination," old or new.
Just today we got lists from Tim and John; I wonder which =
three from each
list they'd nominate for the Mother List?
IMHO, this: a) would help us expand and refine our own lists; =
b) steepen our
CANSLIM learning curves via the debates; c) benefit all of us =
when the
tide(s) turn; and c), would be a source for a little fun =
(while we wait for
M)!
If there's enough interest, I'll be glad to suggest a =
nomination checklist
which we can improvise as we go along, etc, etc, etc. So what =
do you think?
A final note: I'm out of town until Thursday, but will be =
monitoring as
best I can from my remote hotmail account, iffy at best. =
Worst case
scenario, I'll compile a wrap-up of your input by week's end.
