  Good article on FREE REAL TIME.COM today. Compares what President Bush =
did when he was director of Harden Oil and sold 850,000.00 worth of =
stock right before they disclosed how much debt the company had been =
hiding , to the Enron problems. Was in the Wall Street Journal.  Said he =
may have gotten off because his dad was president.  NOT REPUBLICAN =
BASHING!!!  Just noting how hard it is to get meaningful change in our =
political system because everyone(on both sides) has too much to gain by =
leaving things the way the are.  I guess swallowing Martha Stewart whole =
will have to satisfy our appetites for justice. Lets just hope it =
satisfies the markets  also, especially those of the European investors =
who are pulling more and more money out every day.

      Duke, 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 =
woodwork, just read an article on Halliburton (Dick Cheney was VP there =
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?
