      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

      In general, I've gotten more conservative, probably like most.  =

earnings, i.e.,
