    Fanus,=20

    I had CTSH on my short list of stocks for a breakout all week, (BLUD =
and CECO were the other two I had) but the Market kept me from acting on =
it. I wish you success with it; I personally think it has merit, =

bitten too.=20

    Disclosure: I am not strictly CANSLIM, so I can't speak from that =

    Best of luck. If Market holds you could have the last laugh.=20
