Hi Tom,

In the DGO beta you can set a filter for % of 52 week high (under =
6:Price & Volume). You could set this to -5 to +5%, for example, and run =
it along with your preferred filters. If you only run your scans on the =
weekends, you might want to expand the range a bit to catch things =
moving "around" the 52 week high that week.

  Hi Gene,

  I haven't made the time in several months to play around with the =
custom screens at DGO's beta site. Had trouble isolating on stocks =
making new highs, another of my criteria and one I forgot to mention. =
That's why I start with the screen at marketwatch, then review the list =
at DGO.

  Tom, I set the following scan in DGO and uncovered 73 gems, was =
totally surprised at how high the EPS & RS ratings are. Thanks for your =
help, just what the doctor ordered.
  Gene

        Earnings Per Share (EPS) Rating Greater than or equal to: 50=20
        Relative Price Strength (RS) Rating Greater than or equal to: 80 =

        % of Stock Owned by Mutual Funds Less than or equal to: 10=20

        ROE (Latest Fiscal Year Reported) Greater than or equal to: 10=20
        Current Trailing 12 Month P/E From 1 to 100=20

    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.

      "sounds" good to me
