Current Market conditions do not warrant any CANSLIM purchases. - -----Original Message----- From: owner-canslim@lists.xmission.com [mailto:owner-canslim@lists.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Hill, Ernie Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2002 9:23 AM To: 'canslim@lists.xmission.com' Subject: RE: [CANSLIM] Today's IBD "Big Picture" comments... Winston, While it is the spirit of CANSLIM to hold on for larger gains, I must agree with you. Current market conditions do not allow for prolonged rallies. You need to be nimble and have some good sell rules to follow. Many of the stocks that have been swimming upstream despite the undertow of the larger indexes have had considerable whipsaw action. It is a tough environment right now. Take advantage of the short rallies the market gives you and be super cautious or just watch while M is dropping.

Tom: In my trading during the past several months, I have been through a series of issues that appeared to fit the CANSLIM criteria, then were hit with adverse overnight or early morning news. Result was a drop of 30 to 40% in price in pre-opening trade (no opportunity to contain loss to under 7%), and no significant recovery afterwards. CACI is a recent example. My other gainers were of smaller magnitude. Since it takes many more small gains to equal one big loser, net result was not good for me. Thus, I concluded that taking smaller gains QUICKLY and moving on is more reliable in "this market". What I mean by "this market" is that Monday's hero is often Thursday's goat. - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Worley" <stkguru@bellsouth.net> To: <canslim@lists.xmission.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2002 7:19 PM Subject: Re: [CANSLIM] Today's IBD "Big Picture" comments... > I disagree, Winston > > I did very well in 2001 applying my version of CANSLIM, and I doubt > anyone would call that a bull market. > > I did it with buy and hold throughout the year, I doubt I sold any position > less than a month after purchase, some were held the entire year. > > Tom Worley > stkguru@bellsouth.net > AIM: TexWorley > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Winston Little" <wlittle1@peoplepc.com> > To: <canslim@lists.xmission.com> > Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2002 12:44 PM > Subject: Re: [CANSLIM] Today's IBD "Big Picture" comments... > > > 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.
