Sorry, a couple of typos in my original message:
"Under most circumstances, stocks that outperform..."
and
"By the time the industry *gets* to the top, most of the leaders are =
extended"
Darn those interruptions!

Hi Duke,
I agree with you. Under all circumstances, stocks that outperform are =
likely to continue to outperform...UNLESS....they are technically =
topping. So, while the market is tanking in general, stocks that are =
outperforming might be either consolidating or rising. The only thing =
that I would disagree on is that 9/11 or no, you need a healthy =
technical pattern and proper entry (breakout or pullback) to enter. I =
look for stocks/groups that are technically strong, then just use =
fundamentals as a sorting criteria. I just don't think after a Bear =
market and economic recession that you're more likely to find =
fundamental turnarounds and/or fundamentals that stayed mildly strong =
rather than a bevy of stocks with hugely accelerating fundamentals. The =
stocks that are going to do well are the ones that were cleaning up =
their proverbial act during economic hard times and/or were able to stay =
strong fundamentally during hard times. That, combined with technical =
strength leads the way. With that in mind, I just weigh the fundamentals =
to help sort the list of strong stocks, rather than eliminating all =
stocks that don't meet each and every "average for big winners" numbers =
from WON.
Katherine
PS....I'd also look for strong stocks in industries with GRS>=3D60 or =
70. That means you'll also catch groups with *rising* technical =
strength. The problem with sticking with the top 40 industries is that =
it doesn't identify up and comers and tends to mask (filter out) strong =
stocks that are leading the industry up. By the time the stock *gets* to =
the top, most of the leaders are extended.

Subject: [CANSLIM] Curious in Florida
Good morning all:
Since most of you know how I feel about present market environment, =
you'll be glad to know this isn't about that. It's about AFTER "that!" =
I'll explain:
Each day, I download the Excel version of the Daily Screen from IBD. =
Then I "play" with it for awhile. I sort various aspects to my =
personal preferences: Industry Group Rank (eliminating all above 40); =
SMR (eliminating all at C or worse); and so forth. Then I may sort them =
by other factors--combined RS & EPS Ratings or Index of Current PE vs. =
Projected--to arrive at a another cutoff point. After all that, I put =
the remnants into a portfolio with that day's price. Then I follow the =
action. =20
What I'm seeing is an amalgam of stocks, the majority of which keep =
re-appearing in my final cuts. Some, more than I care to mention, I was =
shaken out of earlier this year before going to all cash; some, more =
than I care to mention, I wish I'd jumped on. They're the ones that =
when I should have jumped on them (I don't have 20-20 hindsight like IBD =
does) the right criteria weren't present (usually the darn charts). But =
the fact remains, many of the same symbols are there. And they aren't =
going away!=20
Further, on May 6, a truly awful day on all three of the big =
indexes, I reviewed my Daily Screens portfolios to see which stocks =
suffered the least. The list read like a who's-who of my Daily Screens =
Portfolios. =20
So, here's my question: If these same names are hanging around like =
they are, day in and day out for several months now, both on my sorted =
screens and in IBD editorial, does it stand to reason that when the =
market turns, these stocks that have exhibited such strength in a bad =
market should be the BIG winners when M starts to head North?
I, like all of you, hear over and over again that we should be =
watching for stocks forming good bases at this time, blah, blah, blah. =
But it's my opinion 9/11 created one crazy environment for the markets =
and a lot of stocks we're seeing making big gains these days are NOT =
conforming to the teachings of WON. While composing this, I put these =
stocks to one more test. The Canslim Evaluator. I found it interesting =
that while all these stocks are floating on the top, the average score =
is an unimpressive 6.2 out of 10. In fact, only one was 8 or better: =
UOPX at 8. (FYI: Yes, there are 11 criteria on the Evaluator, but I =
throw out N--the fact a stock appears within the past 7 days on a Watch =
List is immaterial for ranking purposes, IMHO.)
Your opinions will be highly valued. Thank you.
Duke
Everybody should believe in something - I believe I'll have another =
glass of great wine!
