Katherine,
Thanks for the neat comparative analysis. Where did you do it or is it =
your own software?

Hi John,
EASI's a tough chart to read. When that happens, I like to put it in =
perspective. Sometimes that means putting the chart itself into a longer =
term view, comparing it to other similar stocks, comparing it to a =
market, and/or comparing it to the industry/sector. This time, I had to =
do *all* of those to make some sense of it. See a comparison at:
http://WallStreet-LLC.com/canslim/A&D+EASI+042102.jpg
The bottom line is that EASI has a history of more volatile moves than =
other similar stocks. Don't get me wrong, the betas on this group are =
*LOW* (EASI=3D(0.03), LMT=3D0.19, LLL=3D0.03, CACI=3D0.63) in comparison =
to stocks like NVDA (beta=3D2.23). The market is favoring low beta, low =
PE, small-mid cap stocks right now, so I'd say sticking to stocks like =
these is a good idea. However, if I pulled up 20 or 30 stocks with these =
characteristics, I'd be inclined to go with the stocks with better =
fundamentals and easier charts.
As a side note, you mentioned in your original analysis that EASI was =
a "top 10 stock in VV." While its VST places it in the top 10 of all =
stocks in the database....look out. VST is a combination of RT (relative =
timing-technical), RS (relative safety-past fundamental+price =
volatility) and RV (relative value-past profitability+future EPS & =
growth), with RT being weighted the highest. When a stock *begins* its =
move, the VST is going to be high, but it won't already be the highest =
in the database. Its the same idea as the IBD rankings. Once a stock has =
a RS of 99, it's already outperformed everything else. Key word there is =
*already.*

Fools rush in.....
Looking just at the chart for a moment, there could be a handle =
forming, but we need a couple more days for it to be confirmed. Volume =
is drying up nicely, but it would have been nice to see stronger volume =
after the last handle formed. In fact, although this stock has risen =
above the pivot set on 4/2, it didn't truly break out because the volume =
was barely above average - compare to the heavy volume on 4/1 - the =
previous breakout. This suggests that if the handle is completed, that =
any subsequent breakout may be prone to failure also (that almost goes =
without saying at the moment).
This stock looked like a very strong candidate prior to 4/2 based =
on the chart (I bought it in the handle on 3/28 and sold on 4/3 for a =
small profit). I would hesitate before buying it in the handle this time =
and would wait for a real breakout.
I ran the stock through the canslim evaluator =
(www.cwhcharts.com/canslim) and got different results to you - weak =
year-on-year growth for the last three quarters (but a very strong =
recent quarter perhaps reflecting increased orders since 9/11). Also =
institutional ownership at 71%. The stock rated a 7, but could pick up =
an extra point if the handle is completed and the up to down volume =
ratio improves.=20
Others in the group would be able to give a sounder analysis of =
the fundamentals so I won't even attempt to.

Subject: [CANSLIM] easi
I've been at it for over one month and still have yet to find a =
true CANSLIM stock. EASI (group:Elec-military Systems) is another =
possibility I have been watching. It looks to be in a long term cup =
starting October 8 and currently it seems to be trying to form a =
handle. =20
Why I like this stock:
Strong and consistent quarterly and annual growth. 26% growth =
rate
40% and growing institutional owner ship (13% management =
ownership)
Military supply company in a time of war.
Nearing the pivot point. 14% off the left side of cup high.
Top 10 rating by Vector Vest.
Low 10 million share float
So how about it? Am I getting closer to finding CANSLIM gold?
