Duke, Tom, jans,
I'll bet the small to large cap migration has more to do with the length =
of the Secular Bull than anything else. In the early stages of a new =
Bull market, small caps (especially those with high growth =
characteristics) lead the market. It makes intuitive sense. As the bull =
wears on, those "small caps" become "big caps" as more and more money =
is drawn to the stock. It's the very thing that CANSLIM is looking for =
in the "I"...that is, you watch for evidence of institutional monies =
moving into the stock and then just follow their lead. Once the stocks =
put in their 3rd and 4th stage bases, everybody knows about them and =
their market caps are quite large in comparison to where they were when =
they blew out of their first stage bases. Nearly every high flier late =
in '98 and '99 was a late stage base. Only those companies that have the =
wherewithal to survive as a business and expand their markets will set =
up new first stage bases. Non-CANSLIMers are still chasing AOL, DELL, =
CSCO, etc., all former winners and all large caps due to their huge runs =
in the 90's. CANSLIMers know better....go to strength, regardless of =
market cap. It just so happens small and mid-cap are leading right now =
and that is one more piece of evidence for the "emerging new bull" point =
of view.

Duke,
We don't need a new letter, we already have "S". Of course, over the =
years
WON has redefined this letter. In my first edition of HTMMIS, this =
letter
was defined as "S=3DSupply and Demand: Small Capitalization Plus =
Volume
Demand" and WON indicated that you should look for a company with only =
a few
million shares outstanding. He also favored "Stocks that have a large
percentage of ownership by top management are generally your better
prospects". He also noted that the "average capitalization of top =
performing
listed stocks from 1970 through 1982 was 11.8 million shares. The =
median
stock exhibited 4.6 million shares outstanding before advancing =
rapidly in
price."
Of course, a lot has changed since my copy was published in 1991, and =
I
doubt either WON or IBD today would champion small cap stocks, much =
less
ones this small. WON went over to the big cap camp over five years =
ago, and
I have seen little evidence of him adhering to the "S" since then.

Jans:
Good thinking and input for the neighborhood. Can you say "CANSLICM?"
Not long ago we debated herein the capitalization definitions. Do you
suppose their (IBD's) definitions in the IC (<=3D1bb is small; >=3D5bb =
is
large; mid in between) conform to the S&P 600 (Small), 400 (mid), and
500 (big)?

Katherine and Duke:
In today's Investor's Corner (4/15) the column focuses on the =
fact
that
small caps are doing well while the big caps are lagging. This =
approach
is
interesting. Apparently one should look at: The Mkts ->The Industry =
- ->
The
Capitalization (whether the stock is a big cap or a small cap makes a
difference, according to the article, regarding the probability that =
the
stock will take off. If small caps are currently being favored than
investing in big caps is less likely to garner a winner.)
-> (and finally) The Stock.
So it looks as if one should go through the above checklist to =
find
a
stock that will be a winner. (Apropos, I wonder if anyone has =
compared
the
industry [I know CANSLIM uses a Strong Industry as a necessary
forerunner of
a strong stock] with the favored capitalization at the time.
For instance, if XYZ industry is the industry that CANSLIM/WON
favors at
the present, would the capitalization of the stock that is in that
industry
make a significant difference as to its return, ie. do the statistics
confirm
that not only the industry, but also the capitalization of the stock =
in
that
industry, is a big factor in the movement up of that stock? )

I read the article and thought the same thing. I think the real issue

when

the marginal dollars will flow to other investment classes and the =

for
"the

the CANSLIM market (i.e. CANSLIM-quality stocks) and then go for
strength
within that.

PS.... The term "rally" is used in many contexts, even within the IBD
and
Investors.com. Is it an upswing? Is it action after a followthru day? =
Is
it a
Bull? How persistent does an upswing need to be before it's no longer
considered "a rally"? Rally relative to what? relative to when?
Geez....very
confusing terminology. >>
