It doesn't look that unrealistic to me. But you can't just extrapolate from
the 20% to an annualized rate. The time b/w selling stock #1 and buying
stock #2 is unlikely to be 0 and will reduce the overall rate. And, in this
market, 1 - 8 weeks is optomistic from what I'm seeing.

And, if you include WON's 1-in-3 success rate on stock picking, you'll
reduce it even furter.

But, for now, 20% on a portion of my portfolio a couple times a year is
still a major improvement over what I'd done before finding CANSLIM. I
expect this is lower than what one could do with perfect stocks in a better
market, but it's a risk I'm willing to take. It IS, however, higher risk and
more 'trading' than 'investing.'
