My observations:
- - true CANSLIM works well in a "bull market'.
- - ALL markets have issues which are rising and some which are falling. (In
bull market more rise than fall and the life of a rise is very long).
- - we are currently in a rotational market, with the life of a trend varying
from one or two days to at most one month
- - in this era only the fast survive, a good example is that of OVER during
the past week.
The quickest way to lose money is buy and hold . It is similar to grabbing a
handful of smoke and hoping to keep it.
