Hi Mona,

Some comments on your points--

1. I've always believed that the same steps in due diligence have to be =
taken on all stocks, regardless of the business, and I do this without =
exception. I look at it as the difference between reading an instruction =
manual and a good book. Both have value, one I plod through, the other I =
fly through.

2. Agreed that little economic progress can be made without =
technological innovation, and this will continue to drive economic =
growth. However, the era of "all tech all the time" is over. Tech will =
continue to innovate, but the market will not necessarily be dominated =
by tech names in the same way it was in the last Bull. It's innovation =
in general that garners market winners. That innovation can take many =
forms from tech, to business market redefinition, new applications for =
existing technologies, etc.

3. Pull out a chart of the market from the mid 1960's to about 1982. =
*That's* a sideways market. (You can see the same thing in the market =
after the crash of 1929. That sideways market went on until about 1949) =
Within a sideways market there are winners and losers, up and down =
waves, but the market as a whole from the beginning of the cycle to the =
end is for the most part flat. Exploiting sector rotation with the =
strongest stocks is key to successfully investing in such a market.

  1. on the one hand, due diligence on non-tech stocks may not be as =
exciting for the tech-minded among us, but as a newbie to the CANSLIM =
principles, I am finding that it forces me to stay focused on the =
investing process and I don't get as distracted by excitement of the the =
technology itself. For me, not a bad thing at the moment to have my =
focus enforced.

  2. I agree that tech is very unlikely to lead as it did before. But, I =
don't see intuitively how any overall improvement in the market can =
occur without at least improving tech's current position. How does =
anyone to it cheaper / better / faster without an effect on tech?

  3. In various messages, you seem to indicate that you believe the =
current directionlessness of the market will continue for years. =
Definietly think that that's where we are now and that it's not going to =
change in the next quarter or two, but wonder what suggests it will be =
many more years of this.
