MessageDuke, aside from raising my upper price limit to $20 from $18 and =
market cap from $500 million to $650 million some months ago (partially =
because of greater buying power thanks to early profits), I have made =
little change in screening. I have been far less restrictive on RS on =
stocks I already hold so long as fundamentals are holding up to my =
expectations.

I do think there is the potential for market improvement next week, =
noticed that the 10 day moving average for up / down volume had picked =
up on most indexes, even turned positive on some, so that is =
encouraging. Most stocks are so beaten down right now it will take time =
to see the same on the 10 day new highs / lows numbers.

There are still corporate accounting problems coming out of the =

in 2000), and more calls for SEC investigation of Bush and his Cabinet. =
Disclosure by the House that they believe the Board of Directors of =
Enron knew for several years of what was going on is also leading to =
more politically inspired calls for reforms, and investigations of Bush. =
So the politics, if not actual news, will keep this issue in the =
forefront for some time.

As I mentioned yesterday or Friday, the rally on Friday was primarily a =
relief rally that there was no major terrorist attack over the holiday =
(and now thru the weekend). That certainly could inspire a day or two of =
frenzied buying, by value shoppers, by sidelined cash that wants to be =
in the market, and by the shorters having to cover. I have less =
confidence that it could lead to a sustained rally on fundamentals and =
economics, even tho that would be legitimate as I see these factors.

Ok, wake up out there!! =20

Could it be that things might possibly by some mere stretch of the =
imagination...start looking up?  Is it time to proceed with some =
early-on mining?

To that end, I went back through my CAN SLIM Keepers folder...you know, =
where I put stuff my 50-something mind needs to be refreshed upon =
because it's meaningful, and I'm prone to forgetting.  (See anecdote at =
end of this message; if it rings a bell, so to speak, you need your own =
CAN SLIM Keepers Folder!).

Katherine Malm is in the "from" line in my Keeper folder more than =
anyone else (wonder why?), so I'm using her as the catapult for my =
query.  At the same time, I'm asking others to chime in, PLEASE. =20

On April 29, Katherine, you summarized your screening tactics in an =
email, subject: "How are you choosing your stocks."   To paraphrase:

RS>=3D60
Price>=3D200dma
Price>=3D50 dma -15%
A/D =3D  A, B, or C
EPS Rating =3D>50
Meeting or exceeding these criteria, you flip through the charts to see =
which are setting up, then proceed to additional scrutiny.  The =
following is quoting directly from your email:(hilite is mine):

With respect to annual and quarterly growth, ROE, D/E, cashflow etc., =
again, I look at these things in total, knowing that accounting rules =
often obfuscate the "real" story. For that reason, I like to skim the =
recent SEC filings if a stock makes my short due diligence list, rather =
than eliminating stocks entirely just because ROE is 14.6 vs 15% for =
example.=20
At the risk of interrupting Katherine's summer reading program, my =
question for the week:=20

Now that the market has dipped this far, what screen changes, if any, =
are you contemplating to narrow down your selections? =20

I've stated before that my feeling is the stocks that have not succumbed =
as much lately (RS above 90, for instance) will be huge winners; they =
are passing "obfuscated 'real' story" scrutiny. =20

Or will they?  Are they more havens than performers, with the prospect =
of giving way to other types of issues destined to surface into the =
winners' pool?
