MessageHi Duke,
If a stock is in a handle, then it will stay on our WON watchlist until it
either breaks out, drops below the handle, or the handle length exceeds 30
days (5 weeks). The N indicator means it is either in a handle or was
recently. Maybe I should limit it to only stocks that are in a handle. What
do you think?
Aloha,

Absolutely. And when I see that it has been on the list, I scramble to
the chart. I'm not suggesting you change a thing in that regard.
It may help if I define exactly how I use the Evaluator. I, like many
herein, run screen after screen each day mining potential winners. Before
the Evaluator came along the majority of my time was spent culling the
losers--stocks that are "outside" my CANSLIM model. It didn't take me long
to decide that a rating of 7 or better keeps a stock on my list. Under the
new ratings, I'm considering moving that to 6.8.
That being the case, whether or not the stock has made the watch list in
the last 7 days is not significant. Might have been in the go-go days
preceding the market we're in now, I don't know. (And with stocks building
seemingly longer bases lately, maybe your criteria should be longer, like 7
weeks. Doesn't WON say the handle should be 4 to 7 weeks in duration? )
The Evaluator provides me the "snapshot" I need...to cull or not. And it
saves me the most valuable commodity of all: time.
Thanks again for making it available to us.
Duke

Hi Duke,
re: (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.)

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.
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!
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.
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!
