Hi Katherine, I agree, I also do believe that the best part of a list like is to = exchange=20 knowledge on the method not on the outcome. Nevertheless some collective Mining has been done before, lots of lists=20 have been posted. I have a look in these lists once in a while. If I = find=20 something nice, I ask my self, if the stock was on my screen as well if not why not. That might change my screen or add another screen. I just added a micro = cap=20 screen and I will program a flag for my database, which tells me which=20 microcap had a big volume surges. I might not even use the screen, but = it=20 adds another piece. What should be really avoided is hyping stocks or stocks lists and guru=20 type of promoting and "ego discussions" where one individual is bashing the others favorites just for the sake of scoring egocentric=20 virtual points. But I believe we all are going to keep that in check, I think the list = is=20 in great shape. Some stronger words, some irony here and there, but nothing serious = (Though=20 I am not that good at judging this, because its not my first language),=20 thats the salt in the soupe. Best Regards Andreas Another Remark on the sidelines: Groups like this are much better in the = US=20 then they are in Germany. Compliment !!! Another Compliment: Salt Lake Olympics where great !!! Fantastic=20 Organization, German Athletes and visitors where really overwhelmed by = the=20 warm, friendly US People !!!

My=20 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=20 responsibility for others. I am sure many members must have thought I = was=20 insane a few weeks ago when I mentioned that I not only fully invested = my=20 cash acct, but went to the full margin limits as well. Despite a very=20 dismal "M" since then, I am up over 13% (and yeah, for the doubters I = can=20 prove it) and could once again cash out and sit in a money market for = the=20 rest of the year.

That is, people share their read on a=20 stock from both fundamental and technical perspectives. These "examples" = as=20 you call them are instructive and I agree with you on that count. I have = 3=20 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=20 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=20 to the stock. I would prefer that we accomplish what you are suggesting = by=20 doing post analysis instead. And honestly, why should I submit the=20 conclusions of all my hard work in stock selection so that others=20 (especially non-contributors) can make money? I'll gladly share = knowledge=20 and take on a debate so as to learn something, but I won't share stock=20 picks.

I=20 understand your desire to share "collective wisdom" regarding stock = picks,=20 but I don't agree with it, for the same reason you listed in your = comment=20 (b). Even more so, however, when I was reviewing archives in many=20 communities in order to decide which list to join, one of the things I=20 looked for was a community that hadn't reduced discussion of CANSLIM = down=20 to endless stock "picks" but instead a discussion of the underlying=20 principles that make CANSLIM tick; processes for finding and evaluating=20 stocks; clarifications of investing concepts; and practice in the=20 interpretation of technicals, fundamentals, market health and CANSLIM=20 guidelines. While some may argue that such discussion makes CANSLIM = overly=20 complex, I think this is precisely what makes this a community that = helps=20 to build knowledgeable CANSLIMers.
