I'm sure most folks on the list belong to at least one or two = other email lists on a favored topic, so most are equally as sensitive = to the over-full inbox issue. There's always a fine line between what is CANSLIM related and what is = not and this is open to a wide spectrum of personal interpretation. As = this is a virtual community, it seems most critical that we keep the = threads from straying into politics, details on non-CANSLIM investing = styles, details on non-CANSLIM stocks (e.g., cyclicals, value stocks = with no growth characteristics, etc.), and people-bashing. However, if a = thread such as TARO speaks to the topic of CANSLIM but mentions another = stock in the same group, that's not veering off topic, but rather = showing an illustration of a CANSLIM principle, which is, you look to = strength in other players in the same industry. It's also become = apparent to me since becoming a member of this group that CANSLIM, while = based on core principles, is somewhat open to interpretation, and that = allows individuals to build a CANSLIM investing approach that fits their = personal preferences and risk tolerance. For example, Tom and Ian prefer = lower priced high-growth stocks that meet other CANSLIM characteristics. = Some prefer to invest only in top industries while others prefer rising = industries. The iterations are endless, but they all share a common = thread: high growth stocks with excellent fundamentals and appropriate = technicals for the intermediate term. So what *is* appropriate for discussion on the list? Here are a couple = of quotes from the welcome email that Jeff Salisbury, the list owner and = host, sends to each new member: "This is an unmoderated discussion group whose purpose is to provide a = forum for individuals to:=20 1.. Discuss the ideas and concepts of CANSLIM.=20 2.. Add to the concepts of CANSLIM from personal experience.=20 3..

Discuss specific equities and how they may or may not meet the = CANSLIM criteria. " "Anyone who resorts to rudeness, flaming, and personal attacks will be = removed from our group."=20 I'd also add that I always appreciate posts that add to the sense of = community, and in my mind that includes the welcome good-humored posts = that make you smile the entire day.
