Robert,

That was not the point of the discussion.  While I am not going to =
dispute the returns on precious metals, it is not the charter of this =
group to discuss commodities. Your insistence on turning every =
discussion into a reference to gold stocks is bordering on touting and I =

    Robert,

    While Small Cap Value is leading, the small cap growth, mid cap =
growth, mid cap value are also very strong and posting similar results. =
All of them are dwarfing large cap value and growth.

    Since the most recent market bottom 9/21, here are the returns using =
the ETF's as proxy:
    Small Cap Growth: +34.78%
    Mid Cap Growth: + 33.5%
    Small Cap Value: + 45.35%
    Mid Cap Value: + 34.8%

    Certainly nothing to sneeze at.

        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.

          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? )

          << MessageHi Duke,

           I read the article and thought the same thing. I think the =
real issue
          is
          that when all stocks are not in a Bull Market, you can't talk
          meaningfully
          about "THE Market" any longer. For example, the last couple of =
years of
          "the
          great Bull", the Dow ran sideways while the NASDAQ screamed. =
The article

          today only reinforces that notion. That is, some stocks are =
going up,
          others
          are going down, others are moving sideways. That's always the =
case, but
          when
          equities aren't the absolute best place to put your money for =
"sure"
          gains,
          the marginal dollars will flow to other investment classes and =
the rest
          of
          the market will ebb and flow. If nothing else, it just reminds =
us as
          CANSLIM
          investors that we have to pick only the best candidates and =
follow sound

          buy/sell rules. I don't think there's going to be a clear =
direction for
          "the
          Market" as a whole for many years. We're going to have to read =
the
          health of
          the CANSLIM market (i.e. CANSLIM-quality stocks) and then go =
for
          strength
          within that.

           Katherine

           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. >>
