Thanks, Mike.

I separate my sell rules into the following broad categories:

- -At the breakout--B/O on low vol, short base, etc. (that's actually a =
sell avoid), reversal day w. tail on B/O day
- -Immediately following the B/O (1st wk or so)--7-8% rule, reversal day =
on volume within a couple of days of B/O, fall and close below pivot on =
volume

Assuming it starts moving up and doesn't hit sell stop rule:
- -1st 8 weeks--too many up days on low volume, down days on high volume; =
RSLine begins to turn down when most everything else is moving up, =
etc.-sell
- -8 wk mark >=3D20%?, one set of sell rules kicks in that gives a bit =
more leeway to the stock
- -8 wk mark <20%?, if the rest of the market is healthy and this one =
hasn't moved with it, it's a laggard, sell. If the market is choppy =
and/or downtrending, but this remains healthy with support at key MA's =
and trend lines, then it wouldn't be an outright sell simply because it =
hasn't moved 20%+ in 8 wks.

Key is market backdrop and industry condition more than anything. =
Pullbacks are normal in an uptrend, the question is whether the stock is =
showing a "normal/healthy" pullback or showing signs of wear. Also =
critical would be the behavior of competitors and/or industry brethren. =
If the stock is still healthy in its uptrend but darn near every other =
industry brethren is breaking down, sell rules are more stringent. If =
the stock is leading the pack on the way up, then sell rules are more =
liberal.

  Katherine,

  VERY well put.

  I would ask this question to the group:  How much time do you give a =
new
  position to grow, assuming that you bought it at a breakout point.  I =
guess
  another way to phase the question is: how long after an breakout =
attempt do
  you wait before backing out of the position (minus commisions of =
course) to
  get the capital back for entry into another possible winner?

  Do any of you have any "rules" like: Need to see an X% gain within the
  first 4 weeks

  Other than  the 7-8% loss rule I wonder if other get out sooner if it =
looks
  like the breakout failed, or do you hold on for a few weeks.

  Hi Duke,

  Churning is a well documented sign of distribution at the top and =
isn't
  something pulled out of the air by the author. Below I've sited some
  resources from TradingMarkets.com (Loren F. used to write for the IBD) =
and
  from Investors.com.

  With respect to HOV in general, just goes to show that sell rules =
aren't
  all that cut and dried. Most of the sell "rules are actually =
guidelines and
  are used to "stack up" the evidence so to speak.

  With HOV, I would go through a what-if similar to this:
  -Breakout from sound base? Yes 2/26, approx. $22.40
  -Run up of >=3D20% in less than 8 wks? Yes. By 4/19 was up 38%
  -At this point, a subset of sell rules start to kick in: That is, if =
the
  stocks runs up >=3D20% in 8 wks, you "may" want to sit through the =
first
  correction. (from HTMMIS, paraphrased)
  -May comes along and HOV gets its first bout of churning and =
distribution
  ( 5/6 heavy dist., 5/7 churning, 5/8 heavy dist.)
  -What to do?
        -Step 1: stack up the evidence
                  pro: leading group, high RS and rising, market had FTD
                  con: group has been on a long run since early 2000, =
may be
  finished, many stocks breaking down
           Choice 1: Weigh in, make a descision to hold on based on the =
>=3D20%
  in 8 wks guideline. Evidence you'll be looking for thereafter--support =
at
  50dMA, action of other stocks, etc. (similar to the Weblink article)
        -Choice 2: 2 days of heaving distribution + 1 churning =3D heavy
  evidence of unloading in 5 short days. Sell.

  As far as I've been able to figure out, sell rules are *not* cut and =
dried.
  The individual's interpretation of the evidence, their tolerance for =
pain,
  their profit goals in entering the position, the length of time =
they've
  held the stock and current gains will weigh in to the decision. So, =
two
  people decide completely differently given the same chart AND the same =
set
  of WON/CANSLIM sell rules. Darn, wish it were more clear. I'd love to =
do a
  calculation and punch a button in/out. Now wouldn't *that* be keen?

  Q:   Eric S. Hill: How is it that a stock can trade many times its =
average
  volume on a given day with hardly any price hange? Is this to be =
considered
  bullish or bearish?

  Loren Fleckenstein:

  A:   Eric: You cannot apply a mechanical rule that applies to all
  siutations. However, generally speaking, what you're describing is =
called
  "churning." Churning after a stock has made an extended advance could =
be
  bearish and a tip-off of a major price decline to come. Churning after =
a
  stock has suffered a major downturn could be bullish and signal that =
the
  stock is near a bottom.

  =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
  Question (Ask Bill O'Neil):
  How do I know when to sell a well-performing stock to protect my =
gains?

  Answer:
  Many investors don't pay much attention to sell rules. But they are =
just as
  important as buy rules. After a stock has had a significant run-up, =
look
  for signs of fatigue.

  One is what we call "churning." That's when the stock trades on
  comparatively heavy volume but can't manage to make meaningful price =
gains.


  Another red flag is when the stock makes a new price high on low =
volume.
  Also troubling is when the stock repeatedly falls as volume increases.

  Some stocks that double or go even higher over several months will =
peak in
  a "climax top" characterized by a couple of weeks in which the price =
bursts
  up 25% to 50% or more on heavy volume. Also watch for weakness in the
  stock's industry group, as well as the general market.

   Duke, I would be a lot more impressed with IBD if they had reported =
that
   potential sell signal just a day or two later, rather than weeks =
later.

   On the other hand, I would disagree that selling the next day was
   necessarily the right action. We see many signals, both buy and sell, =
as
   well as hold. It is the collective accumulation of those signals that
   should trigger an action, in most cases (the 8% stop loss rule being =
one
   of the few that stands on its own).

   I realize that IBD is not being paid for specific investment advice, =
and
   likely would not want to precipitate a correction by reporting every =
sell
   signal immediately. But I do agree, all these new rules they seem to =
be
   coming up with, are they their interpretation of CANSLIM, or is this
   actually coming from WON?

   Subject: [CANSLIM] Today's WebLink

   Bulletin:  Here we go again with some new CANSLIM tactics springing =
from
   WON's perfect hindsight in today's WebLink on HOV.  I quote:

   But on May 8, the stock notched a new intraday high on quiet trade =
and
   finished lower that day (Point 4). New highs on low volume are one =
sign
   that demand is waning and pose as a key sell signal. However, given =
that
   the stock was only in the 10th week of its advance, it can be worth
   waiting to see if a rally still has juice. Over the next week and a =
half,
   Hovnanian fell hard and clipped its 50-day line on heavy trade (Point =
5).
   On May 16, the stock closed below its 50-day for the first time since
   November. But from the next day, it began clawing its way back above =
the
   key intermediate trend line.

   The first new lesson (to me, anyway) is couched in the statement, =
"But
   (operative word) on May 8...a new intraday high on quiet trade...a =
key
   sell signal."  When I look at the chart on May 8, I see something
   different:  It tells me the stock closed down that day on low volume. =
 I
   thought this was a good sign.  But now its a bad sign, because it =
reached
   a new "intraday" high on light volume.  Maybe I was in the men's room
   during the advanced seminar when they covered this.  :)

   My point is, if you new about the "intraday high on low volume sell =
rule,"
   wouldn't you have SOLD the next morning at the open?  (If you didn't, =
then
   today's Investor's Corner is for naught.)

   But wait a minute, lo and behold, yet another new rule surfaces:
   "However, given that the stock was only in the 10th week of its =
advance,
   it can be worth waiting to see if the rally still has juice."  Where =
in
   the 24 Rules is that hidden?  I searched the whole Investors.com for
   "rally juice" and nada.

   In hindsight, the fact remains, if you held HOV, you would be wise to =
have
   sold on the new intraday high on low volume. That is, if you knew =
about
   that rule.

   I guess we learn something new every day, don't we?  Where oh where =
did I
   put that darn time machine!
