Welcome to the group, David.
Thanks for the intro, I gather from Jeff Salisbury's earlier post that =
we have a lot of new members as a result of the mention in Forbes. I =
would like to encourage all newcomers (as well as all you lurkers out =
there) to post a brief intro so we know who you are once you start =
participating and posting.=20
It is always amazing to me the talent that arrives in this group, =
especially when it comes to first hand knowledge about a particular =
industry, or software, or whatever. It's nice to know that the resource =
is there when we really need it, as well as to understand a member's =
investing, or CANSLIM, experience and background.

Hi,
My name is Dave Gerber. I am a new subscriber to IBD and found this =
site in the recent Forbes special magazine you have all mentioned. I am =
a new listener (lurker?) to the very interesting and useful discussions =
on this site. It is by far the most proferssional group of people I =
have encountered discussing investments. Could someone please tell me =
what chart characterisitics LLUR refers to?
Thanks so much.

Hi Robert,
Some quick comments:
INT - both sales and earnings stagnant on sequential basis, weak =
forecasts, very weak industry
MIMS - same thing, despite a 34% earnings growth forecast for present =
year
RACN - nice chart and growing fundies, may be developing into a steep =
LLUR

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 =

companies. A few look like they are about to breakout to new highs. =

MIMS and RACN from this selection process. Good luck.

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.

HI Tom, I thought it might have been an acquisition, but then I =

is it was growth, pure and simple (I personally don't like =
Karaoke, but I

SMD thinks they can continue to grow in the US (it would be great =
