earnings will attract moneyflow.  I don't always look for positive =

as best I can to try to detect potential risk. Do my best for low debt, =
but have ignored it for potential sales.Follow the news on each stock =
daily, but that's pretty much with the whole market lately-I am =
beginning to wonder if the mass response to the bad market and the bad =
earnings and management problems is to become a mass of traders moving =
on the news. That's one way to get The analysts back. I believe that =
every action creates a reaction.I try to buy on an uptrend in a =
correction if I miss the start of the trend. I love the graphs at =
clearstation for this. I also check volume daily on IBD charts to see if =
I can detect a  major problem arising( going up on low volume =
consecutively, etc.) although I don't always sell there, it depends. I =
look at a stock as I look at hiring a new employee.  They are not going =
to be the way you want them to be when you hire them, but if they have =
the potential(product, sales, earnings,ect.) then I am willing to see if =
the management can make them blossom into that thing.  I like to hold on =
to it for earnings news if I think its going to be positive, it seem to =
make people take notice and pushes the stock usually. I do the (I) in =
canslim. A lot of them do have institutional sponsorship although slim =
to start. If I see an index buying in or a micro cap fund then it makes =
me feel that they think sales will push earnings also and attract new =
money. I also follow insider tradinf. The (L) they are laggards, but =
most leaders were at one time or another, although not all, I like to =
say laggards with potential. I try to keep it down to one or two =
thousand shares so if one stock tanks the others probably wont. This may =
not be true in the case of a terrorist attach, but I try to find stocks =
who's product will hopefully put them back on the map and not into =
bankruptcy. I know the stocks aren't as liquid but I don't sell without =
a good reason. I know smalls are risky but like Bill O.says "they don't =
all have to be winners-several can lose but a few winners will make you =
great money". If a stock starts to go below the moving averages and the =
trend turns down I sell, I figure I can always get in again when and if =
the problems are resolved. If stock has no new problems that I can find =
and it goes down I figure its just a shakeout and will attract new money =
as soon as the price gets where they want it. I have a couple of stocks =

or if you want my opinion on yours I could try to do that also. I know =
this was long but I hope not to boring. zillagirl
I know the markets have been sucky.  A couple of my stocks have had =
really low volumn the last few days but they are not losing more then a =
penny or a nickle so how can I complain.

  Hi zillagirl,

  When you start investing in small and micro cap stocks, you are =
already taking on substantially more risk due lack of liquidity, lack of =
analyst coverage (altho lately that may be a blessing), potential for =
running out of cash and not able to raise new capital, and general lack =
of interest from institutional investors if you also are investing in =
low priced stocks as I do. Low priced stocks can substantially raise =
your risk by the spread representing a higher percentage than with =
higher priced or more liquid stocks.

  That said, for my personal investing, I look primarily for stocks =
hitting new highs, this satisfies the "N" of CANSLIM without having to =
do research, and also shows that there is no recent overhang in the =
stock, as well as signaling positive momentum in an otherwise dismal =
downtrending dreary depressing "M". The reports at DGO are of no help to =
me in this, as they are limited to about one fourth of all stocks, only =
including the ones that are in the DG books (a marriage that badly needs =
to be severed now that the books get you no discount). You can get lists =
of stocks hitting new daily highs at most any free site, I use =
CBSMarketWatch as it permits me to screen for price and size so I am =
only then looking at small and micro caps within my price range (up to =
$20 currently).

  Because of my personal bias against various sectors, I only look at =
stocks of potential interest. I won't look at banks, for instance. Since =
I am not a group follower, another of my many personal CANSLIM sins, =
this doesn't hurt me. In fact some of my best performing stocks this =
year have been in groups ranked E.=20

  When I run my daily lists thru DGO, my first focus is on sequential =
earnings and sales. I am more interested in this than on year over year =
sales, as many lack analysts forecasts, so I am on my own for this. If =
both sales and earnings are increasing logically, sequentially and in =
step, then I can assume continued growth for some time in the future, =
again without any initial research. I, and many other investors, can =
form a mental image of what we expect next quarter, and its easy to =
assess the stock's reaction on what is delivered for results.

  My next focus is the chart itself. Many by the time I find them are =
already well extended. Doesn't mean I forget about them, I study the =
prior 12 months to see where I might have found them earlier. I look for =
characteristics, is this a stock that builds a long flat base, then =
explodes. Or is it one that signals volume before a big move. Is it a =
LLUR, where I can buy at anytime? Where would it likely consolidate, or =
correct to, such that I might buy on a dip? At the least, I try to learn =
from it. I also look to see if, even extended, I consider it overvalued =
based on earnings growth, projected PE (my own or analysts), market cap =
to sales ratio, ROE, debt (usually zero or negligible). I also look at =
management holdings vs funds and the float.

  All this is just the beginning of finding a new company to add to my =
watch list. Then the due diligence really starts, time permitting.

  That is similar to what I mean.  for example an earnings rule for =

positive.Example=3D Last quarter earnings -.03 , current quarters =
earnings +.07.  This is different then the earnings rules on canslim but =

    Zillagirl, not sure of your point. I have been using nothing but my =
version of CANSLIM for years, and invested in nothing but small and =
micro caps. I need no other system than CANSLIM, despite the lousy "M" =
we have been having. Granted, I break lots of rules, and it has cost me =
in the past week or so pretty severely, essentially giving up my profits =
for the year due lack of attention and time.

    Biggest single difficulty with small and micro caps, aside from a =
lack of liquidity on many if you are buying large positions, is that you =
usually cannot use stop buy or stop sell orders. Most brokers will not =
accept stop orders unless they are NYSE / AMEX listed.

    I have a theory on small caps,although Im sure some of you are tired =
of hearing from me today.(smile)  there is a lot of money to be made in =
the right small caps. I would almost bet IBD does research in all caps =
- -not just the ones he posts on his site.  Esp. for small cap mutual =
funds, etc. Some of them have good earnings, new products, the M is on =
their side right now compared to the other indexes. Someone is buying =
these stocks and making a lot of money on them before they ever hit a =
canslim list.(you can buy a lot more shares at 5.00 then with 25.00 =
eventhough the risk is greater)If in this market the risk can be =
greater. I cant help but think that there is a trading system with =
established % on earnings, growth, etc. but it is not available to us. =
And Im sure it would not be   with the  same criteria as the canslim =
system we are given. Its great to ride a stock from 5 to 15 or 20 =
dollars and then a whole new set of buyers comes in. I could be wrong =
but if the research is done I feel it should be made available to =
us-buyer beware.  In this market when small caps seem to have been hit =
the least and canslim  seems to be in reverse half the time, we could =
use more then 'one day the market will turn' from IBD.I would like to =
think bill is protecting us from bad investments but as anyone who read =
my posts today can see-my rose colored glasses got broken somewhere. PS =
dont get me wrong I love canslim but its like following the indexes-when =
they drop - you might have to think about shorting.=20

      Hi Jon,

      I've often wondered about that same thing as it's certainly not =

             A: The bear market is alive and kicking on the Nasdaq. But =
