Dimitiri,

Here is something I recently put together on my interpretation of RS, =
group RS and EPS rankings.

Interpretation of RS in CANSLIM

=20

CANSLIM focuses on strength, but it's *relative* strength and in most =
cases *increasing* strength that is most important. Also, technical =
strength will outweigh historical fundamental rankings in almost all =
cases, meaning that RS and A/D carry more importance than EPS or SMR =
(that's my personal assessment). With respect to industries, again, the =
idea is subtle, but *rising* strength is key and in my mind will =
outweigh the absolute group strength ranking.



On RS---from HTMMIS:

p. 35-- "If the stock's relative price strength, on a scale from 1 to =
99, is below 70, it's lagging the better performing stocks in the =
overall market."

p. 175-- "You buy stocks that are performing relatively stronger than =
the general market just as they are beginning to emerge from a sound =
base-building period."

HTMMIS: confine most of your buying to RS>=3D80...

IBD's 20 Rules to Investment Success: buy when RS>=3D85



My interpretation: Stocks with RS>=3D70 are *not* laggards. If RS is =
rising and >=3D70, then it is increasing in strength and *beginning* to =
outperform. Most of what you buy will likely have a high RS when you buy =
it. But good stocks will often break out when RS is a bit lower. The =
absolute number is not as important as the *direction* of the RS and the =
location of the RS *relative* to the stock's RS earlier in its base. =
Also, if you immediately filter out all stocks with RS<80 or 85, you =
will not be watching them early enough to perform due diligence and =
stalk the trade. My approach focuses on stocks as they begin to =
outperform so that you can catch them early enough to perform due =
diligence and then wait for them to set up technically.=20

=20



Overall conclusions:=20

- --Minimum acceptable RS if you are to consider a stock as a potential =
buy candidate: >=3D60 and *rising*

- --Minimum acceptable RS at the time of the buy >=3D70 (otherwise it's =
considered a laggard and violates the "L" in CANSLIM)

- --When looking at a stock's chart, look at the RS while the base is =
forming. If the RS is not making new highs relative to where it was =
earlier in the chart, trouble is brewing because the stock is beginning =
to lag the market, even though price is rising.

- --A high RS ranking is sometimes misleading if considered in isolation. =
A stock can have a high RS if it is going down less than the overall =
market, but the stock itself may be weak. A stock that has already =
broken out and is making its ascent will have a high RS. While that is a =
healthy sign, it is not necessarily useful in finding new stocks that =
are currently basing and therefore setting up to break out.

- --All other things being equal, the stock with the higher RS would be =
ranked higher if you were trying to choose between 2 candidates. In =
other words, once a minimum acceptable RS is met and the pattern of RS =
is acceptable, the absolute value of the RS is more useful as a =
*sorting* tool than a *filtering/mining* tool.

=20

=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D



I pulled some articles that help identify "exceptions to absolute value =
of rankings"

=20



Investor's Corner Articles:

***11/14/01 "Not All Big Winners Hold Top Ratings"--"[W]hat about stocks =
that break out and have an EPS in the 70s? If everything else is in =
place, don't dismiss them. If you don't you might miss the next big =
stock winner."



***2/14/02 "Let Market Leaders Govern Your Buys"-- "If the group is =
among the top 50 or is rising quickly up the ranks, it will more likely =
become a leader in a good market." (italics are mine)



2/19/02 "Great Stocks Aren't Always Flawless"--"How many stocks run =
through that checklist flawlessly? Not many. ... If the base is solid, =
it can still become a winner."



3/11/02 "Stay on Top of Top Industries"-- " Watch for groups making big =
moves up the charts."



1/15/02 "Not All Stocks First Hit All Time Highs" --discusses turnaround =
stocks



8/31/01 "Market Washout Paves Way for New Bases"-- resetting the base =
count after big corrections



7/3/00 "Investing Requires More Than Top Ratings"--"Ratings don't tell =
you where a stock is in its price cycle, let alone the market...Ignoring =
charts could leave you buying a quality stock that's ripe for a sell =
off." This is the very reason that I don't mine for candidates with high =
EPS/RS rankings. You are more likely to find those getting ready to top, =
while ignoring those that are setting up and building strength.



1/9/02 "Best Stocks Have High Price Strength"--Discusses RS in general. =
Interestingly, shows stocks at breakout where RS is high, but EPS is =
low. More evidence that mining based on high EPS to the exclusion of =
lower EPS's will often miss good breakout candidates.



1/7/02 "How to Use Moving Averages Wisely"-- Good discussion of the use =
of 50 and 200 day moving averages.



2/4/02 "A New View of Truly Active Stocks"--Discusses changes in the =
identification of active stocks in the IBD. Interestingly, they lowered =
both EPS and RS requirements for coverage to.... EPS and RS >=3D70. This =
supports the HTMMIS text from above. Also interesting, forward growth =
estimates required for coverage? 15%.=20



3/28/02 "Web Site Teaches You the Ropes"--Nice chart that identifies =
which concepts are covered in each of the IBD Learning Center articles.



Excerpted from the IBD Weblink (Italics are mine)

ITT Educational Services, 4/17/02

Before Tuesday's big move, ITT's Relative Price Strength Rating was a =
relatively tame 76. If you only look at stocks with IBD ratings of 80 or =
higher, then you're more likely to miss out on great stocks that had =
formed long bases before leaping to new highs. A 76 is perfectly =
acceptable if a stock's other ratings glow. The provider of various =
computer technology and other technical degree programs boasts an A for =
Accumulation/Distribution Rating (point 5), indicating mutual funds are =
snatching shares. Although the Commercial Services-Schools industry =
group currently holds a mediocre C ranking (point 6) and a D for Group =
Technical Rating (point 7), leading stocks such as Apollo Group, Bright =
Horizons, Career Education and Corinthian Colleges are tracing uptrends =
and are poised to make new highs (point 8). Finally, consistent earnings =
and sales growth over the past six years and outstanding return on =
equity (44.9% in fiscal 2000, 47.2% in 2001) award ITT an A+ Fundamental =
Rating (point 9).=20
