HI: I'm new to this listserve but I've been reading IBD for some time =
now. I also have an interest in micro and small caps. I've been =
evaluating a strategy that looks at stocks selected by IBD criteria and =
crossreferences this list with stocks selected by a GARP (growth at a =
reasonably price strategy). This tends to identify many small cap =
companies. A few look like they are about to breakout to new highs. =
They all have good EPS and RS ratings. Currently, I'm watching INT and =
MIMS and RACN from this selection process. Good luck.

Subject: Re: [CANSLIM] MicroCaps
Gene,
Micro and really, really small "small caps" are my favorites. I review =
daily a list of stocks hitting new highs that day, using Marketwatch at =
the CBS site. My basic parameters are volume of 1000 to 500,000 shares =
traded that day, price from $2 to $20, market cap up to several hundred =
million (depending on your preference), and trailing PE of 1 to 100.
For CANSLIM criteria, I want RS at least over 80, but preferably well =
over 90. I will accept EPS ranking down to about 50 or so, but only if I =
can vocalize why earnings per share is ready to accelerate. I personally =
prefer funds ownership in the low single digits to zero (I like to be =
smarter and quicker than the average small cap fund manager), with =
management ownership well into double digits. I have had some of my =
better results with management owning over 50% of the issue.
While I like ROE well into double digits, I have had many winners =
where it was in the low single digits when I first bought it.

Good luck, I saw it on many of my daily lists, but also could not =

myself that Karaoke (shudder) was making a come back.

HI Tom, I thought it might have been an acquisition, but then I dug =
into the
financials and listened to the latest conference call, and the =
bottom line
is it was growth, pure and simple (I personally don't like Karaoke, =
but I
guess there's a whole lot of wannabe Wayne Newtons and Spice Girls =
out
there)
SMD thinks they can continue to grow in the US (it would be great if =
they
picked up the WalMart account) and then will also expand in Europe
by the way, I had some other issues with the Balance Sheet, like the =
huge
spike in A/R, but the CC cleared that too (they have already =
collected on
most or all of the receivables)
"sounds" good to me
