David,

Excuse my ignorance, but what's GARP?

I have found for about a year and a half that CANLSIM/GARP is a safe and
reliable way to trade.  It really cuts down on the risk yet you still get to
catch a lot of the good moves such as homebuilders and REIT's.  Granted it
is not strict CANSLIM but you can still use a lot of the concepts WON
teaches.  I always thought David Ryans interview in Market Wizards made
sense that after screening for eveything else go for the lowest P/E.  I also
wish that WON would teach more on the short side. The best gains I have had
have been on the short side the past year and a half.  CANSLIM criteria are
discriminating enought that if you apply most of them in reverse and then
throw in a ton of debt you end up with some good shorts.  Oh well enough of
my soapbox.

Good post, Jans.  I went to my back issues and dug out the Investor's Corner
you
refer to.  It's the June 25th issue.  I'm going to follow your lead and get
more
familiar with the SEC filings.

In general, I've gotten more conservative, probably like most.  I'm paying
more
attention to the P/E than I ever have in the past, preferring <20.  I guess
that
makes me a "value" CANSLIM investor.  I'm also weighting the cash flow more
than
I have in the past to try to establish a correlation with earnings, i.e.,
20%
higher than last year's EPS.  -Harvey
