Hmmm...

First, on Andersen.   I was neither trying to assess blame on
management, the trainers, nor the employees at Andersen - merely to
pass along information, which I caveated.   I would say that
Andersen's antics have delayed resumption to a CANSLIM friendly
market (my opinion).

Second, on the suggestion we get back to CANSLIM.   I think the
reason we are straying (and I haven't posted much lately) is that
we're just not in a CANSLIM environment.   I cashed out in November -
out of everything.   I haven't found "M" telling me I can get back
in.   Any attempts have been quickly aborted.   Had I the nerve to
short, I could have turned the CANSLIM characteristics upside down
and possibly made some money.   In the meantime, I'm getting 2%ish on
my money market fund (which isn't fun, but better than losing money).
  So.... we could talk CANSLIM philosophy - but its hard to apply.

But, what the heck... a few other thoughts:

- - I love the S&P 600 index in IBD.
- - I'm about ready to refinance my mortgage.
- - My international fund is doing decently in my IRA.
- - I've been on the list for years (active years ago,
  not so active now) and noticed we've got some
  great, quality posters lately.   This remains an
  excellent list.
- - The humor is great.   Ernie's CEO posting is
  getting forwarded on to friends.  The Abbott
  and Costello takeoff was good too.

Now, let's see, what could be useful.   I was reading an article
lately that talked about the dangers of "soda".   I was puzzled for a
while.   Then I realized that they meant carbonated beverages.  Where
I grew up, soda is a carbonated beverage with ice cream in it.  "Pop"
is the term in everyday usage for a plain carbonated beverage.   It
got me thinking about the confusion that could arise from making
assumptions on terminology.   We, when posting, might use a term that
means something else to someone else.   The reader may not realize
it.  
Anyway.... I'd like to take an informal poll (for those still
reading).  Drop me a line (to dfcameron@yahoo.com directly).  Let me
know what the common term is for carbonated beverages where you live,
and tell me where you live.   It seems that "soda" is used on the
east coast, and California.  "Pop" is in the central part of the U.S.
 In parts of the South, it is "coke" regardless of brand.  But, I may
be overgeneralizing.   Also, I have no idea what Elisabeth
Archambault would call it.
