Thanks Tom, I introduced unnecessary confusion by mentioning sales, although
the article referred to earnings. I did so because I had extracted the rule
"sales growth must be accelerating" from an Ask Bill column on the
definitions of CANSLIM and used it as a criterion in the Canslim Evaluator.
It was while I was programming that that I had to graple with what the
meaning of what "growth must be accelerating" was.
So, we want sales to grow and earnings to grow more quickly. Suppose we had
sales growth but earnings decline? Then I suppose one would look for the
reason, such as increased R&D maybe?

Mike, it's not only sales to consider, priority is earnings. As sales
grow, earnings should be growing faster due to cost efficiencies and fixed
costs being absorbed over a larger revenue base.

I think you meant
velocity = rate of change of distance + direction
acceleration = rate of change of velocity
So, the underlying quantity being measured is sales (equivalent to
distance)
growth in sales per quarter is equivalent to velocity
rate of change of growth per quarter is acceleration of growth.

I might be all wrong here, but I think what you've calculated is
velocity rather than acceleration.
Acceleration = rate of change
Velocity = rate of change of the rate of change + direction

Subject: [CANSLIM] Q: Accelerating growth
I've often seen WON and IBD refer to the need for "accelerating
growth".
Strictly speaking, that means that the *rate of change* of growth
should be
positive.
In yesterday's Investor's Corner they said of PHA, "At the time,
earnings
growth was accelerating (8% to 35% to 57%)". So the change in growth
was
from 8% to 35% (27%) to 35% to 57% (22%). So the *rate of change* of
growth
was 22 - 27 -> -5. That is, growth was decelerating not accelerating
Now as a physics major, I may be too picky, but I believe that
language
should be used correctly or it loses its value. It seems to me that
what
they mean is "earnings growth was increasing".
In that case the WON rule that says that "sales growth should be
accelerating" needs to be restated to "sales growth should be
increasing".

Subject: Re: [CANSLIM] IBD's Industry Group and Ticker Symbol Index
If you intend to pursue a group-oriented strategy, and you intend to
use
IBD's 197 industry group tables, the book is indispensible because
it's
not always obvious which companies are assigned to which industry
groups. I'm using Vector Vest now, which has its own industry
groupings,
so I no longer buy the IBD books.
