Hi Norm,
I don't know that there's a pat answer to your question. For example, I =
owned shares in a local company, PVSW, quite some years ago. The stock =
price was doing just grand and then went into a climax run at some =
point. CANSLIM rules had me out, which didn't make me all that happy, =
because I rather enjoyed asking tough questions at the shareholder's =
meetings. But the truth of the matter was, there was trouble afoot that =
was evident in the fundamentals and business strategy even before the =
stock technically took a dive. The stock dropped from about 35 to zip in =
short order, followed by a slew of class action law suits against the =
company. Frankly, they were spurious. The company had done nothing to =
mislead the investors, as the lawsuits charged, they just weren't doing =
a very good job minding the business. In that case, the lawsuits were =
meaningless. The problem is, it takes precious resources to defend =
against these lawsuits, so if nothing else, it's money out of the =
coffers until things are settled. Add that to a "poor perception" and =
you have a recipe for a stinky stock.
When reading the details of ACRT's lawsuit, it seems plausible that =
there's something fishy in the works. If you take a look at the =
fundamental summary indicators, ACRT looks pretty grand, but WON always =
states that technicals will tell the story long before the "reason" =
shows up in the fundamentals and that's reason enough to stay away. All =
that in total is enough for me to throw something like this in the =
stinky fish pile. Is there a probability it'll all work out and the =
stock will climb back up? Yes. Is the probability that it'll work out =
higher than for a stock with no red flags, better RS and equivalent =
fundamental numbers? No.

Katherine,
shed some light on that point for me. I have seen many companies the
subject of law suits in the past for exactly this type of thing: =
making
misleading or false statements during specific time periods, usually =
just
before the stock price tanks. It seems that this happened often after =
March
2000. How can one tell if a law suit is significant/legitimate or =
just
disgruntled stock holders? Is it significant just because the legal =
papers
have been filed? And, does that trouble extend until the legal action =
is
dismissed?

Hi James & Tom,
Not to mention things like this in the significant developments raise =
enough
red flags to stay away from something like ACRT:

I'm with Tom.....just get in the habit of ignoring stocks with an =

on
Fallen Angels and Falling Knives to get the gist.

H James,
RS of 30 would keep ACRT off my list
RS of 18 would also block MCSI
RS of 9 on NYFX, goodbye
RS of 14 on MXT - sorry, none would go beyond a first glance for me
all have recent, and substantial, overhead due to the recent price
declines.
They will be fighting resistance all the way back up.

Subject: [CANSLIM] ACRT or MXT?
Hi, Just to learn recognizing potential winning
stocks, by their both fundamantals and technical
analysis. I recently did some research on the following
stocks, and find they could be great candidates for
longs. What do you think:
ACRT: steady earings, low PE and low PEG, high short ratio.
MCSI: good earings, good values.
NYFX: should be great with economy's recovery.
MXT: great potential with recovery, over 80% short in floats. Great
values.
James
