I plugged that hole. Would users of the evaluator please let me know if they
find other anomolies. Thank You.

HI Chaz,
As the tool author, I'll try to explain whats going on. I just ran it and
got a divide by zero error. That means some data was missing and my code
didn't trap it. In fact, yahoo.marketguide.com (Highlights report) shows the
EPS growth rates as "NM" or not measured, so the data wasn't available to do
the evaluation and EPS growth was reported as -100%.
Normally, if data was not available, I report it in the evaluator as "NA".
Clearly, I need to some more work to trap that situation in all possible
cases.
However, because the source of data for the evaluator is different from
IBD's, there is always the possibility of inconsistent results. At the
bottom of the evaluator is a link to the datasource wher you can always
compare the data used in the evaluator to that available from IBD.

I am trying to understand the CANSLIM Evaluations tool.
I pulled an evaluation on EXPE and compared it to the Daily Graph Chart
and immediately became confused.
CURRENT EARNINGS: EPS growth, according to the evaluator should be "at
least 25% in the most recent quarter." The value is shown as -100% and the
score is 0. However, EXPE reported March 31st earnings of .46 versus .08 for
the same quarter a year ago (up 475%) and an increase from .31 to .46 (48%)
March over December 2001.
Latest three quarters of sales growth should be a minimum of 25%. The
Evaluator shows 22%, and therefore no score. However, sales for September
quarter were $79.5 Million, December quarter were 81.8 Million and March
quarter were $116 Million, for a total of $277.3 Million. During the same
three quarters last year, the total sales were $143.7 Million, for an
increase of $133.6 Million or 92.9%.
What am I doing wrong?
Charley
