Ian, thank you for all of the good information. i am sorry i was so =
blunt. your holdings reminds me somewhat of Kevin's with Coolcat. yes, =
small caps have been good lately, and glad that you are making good =
money. i have quite a bit of money to invest, so need to invest in =
stocks with larger trading volume. good luck in the future. david

David:
Since you asked, and I've been getting numerous requests for lists, I =
figured I'd toss out some names for perusal. Remember that almost all of =
these are far extended from where they were when their quantum volume =
changes hit, and are not currently personal buy candidates. Please treat =
this as a 'proof of strong "M"', which is the context in which I threw =
it together:
My only significant new buy this week was AIRM, at an $8 pivot point, =
although I pyramided a little to some others.
But I have been watching many others that I bought earlier continue to =
rise:
MRGE - from a pivot around $4.80
CVGR - from a pivot at $3.35
NSYS - from pivot at $8.60
PMSI - from $6.80 pivot
PAGI - from a pivot at $18.10
FNIS - from a pivot at $14.30 (sold today on strong distribution)
USAP - from a pivot at $9.60
TENT - from a pivot at $9
Ones that I prematurely or already sold, but are still rising:=20
NBSC - from $6
MTEC - from $24.50 pivot
BEL - from $4 pivot, and $6.50 pivot, and $7 pivot ...
USLB - from a pivot at $9.90
DOCC - from a pivot at $4
NWRE - from a pivot at $3
ONDI - from a pivot at $8 (was recently bought out at $12)
ICTG - (from deep in the base, around $11)
QGLY - (from a pivot at $4 - just sold, appears to have peaked =
yesterday)
ATPX - from a pivot at $20
DFXI - (I bought it and sold it the same day, for a loss, in early =
November around $20. Think I sold at the bottom tick under $20 :( I have =
a terrible track record of selling too early for a loss when buying in =
the base - I am prone to costly vaccilation.)
Others - without CANSLIM charts, but rising:
FWHT - from the base at $3.25
ALOG - non-CANSLIM (but about to have massive growth) from the base in =
the $38-$42 range
TKCI - from the base at $10
Even issues that I consider short candidates (others might consider =
them solid CANSLIM stocks) are rising strongly:
CSTR
DYII
XMM (This was on my long list from a pivot at $9.25 - before the =
recent news)
I do also have a large list that are going nowhere, but I don't have =
nearly as many that are actually strongly trending down, although there =
are definitely some of them.
Also, if I started looking through my notes at the ones that I never =
purchased, but interested me, the list of rising issues would be a lot =
bigger -particularly the small/microcap restaurants/retailers that I =
tend to avoid - many of them are moving up on strong volume compared to =
their historical averages.
The point is that my watch lists, which are 95% culled from stocks =
with rising revenues and EPS, and modest valuations (issues with =
extraordinary upcoming growth, but non-existant current EPS like ALOG =
are exceptions), are littered with strongly uptrending stocks, many =
rangebound stocks, and far fewer that are trending down. What is CANSLIM =
about buying them now is this: they are all showing strong growth, and =
the market is clearly rewarding them for that growth. That has not =
always been the case for the last 25 months. It appears to be the case =
now. How much more evidence should I need?
Ian
PS - I realize that I am being strongly opinionated about this right =
now, and I apologize if it offends. But I can't help thinking that those =
who think we are still in a broad bear market are akin to the people =
who, refusing to look at tech in Oct '98 - Feb '00, thought we were in =
a terrible bear back then, and failed to profit from what the market was =
offering. I do understand that if I had tens of millions of dollars to =
manage, I might have a different perspective -as it would be decidedly =
harder to place the capital efficiently. But I do not have that problem, =
so it does not cloud my perspective.

Katherine, comments from a different angle, well put and you =
do make a lot of sense. I sometimes just get a little frustrated that we =
don't have a watch list, and we don't quickly identify breakouts to each =
other. Years ago I was part of another CANSLIM group and we really kick =

with this group is different and not try to change things.
Your input is appreciated, Chris.=20
