Hi Donald,
When I look at a stock, I look at it "in totality." That is, does it =
have both the technical and fundamental characteristics that mean that =
it's worth watching in the near term? So, for example, one might say "it =
has all the right CANSLIM fundamentals, but no technical entry point =
right now." Or they might say "it has all the right technicals, but the =
fundamentals are lousy for reasons x, y, z." All of these comments could =
also be made, but be completely irrelevant at that particular moment if =
the "M" in CANSLIM is not presenting a favorable backdrop. Each person =
has their own timeframe within which they work and wait....some might =
look at a stock with good fundamentals and regardless of "M" or the =
chart's technicals, leave it on a pending watchlist. Others would =
immediately eliminate any stock with "good" fundamentals if the =
technicals are currently not favorable. It's all a matter of style, and =
when each person posts their comments, they'll post accordingly.
So, when I look at a stock like SYY, I see pro/con...but when I =
compare it to the other potential candidates in the universe of CANSLIM =
quality stocks I monitor, it gets a low grade, leaving me to stalk =
better trades. To you, however, it may rate high in comparison to other =
stocks you are monitoring and you would see the same set of pro/con and =
leave it on your personal watchlist.

Donald, there are some good things that can be said about =
the chart of OSTE (BTW, makes for better posting if you make the subj =
line more specific), but "formed a well defined Cup, between the weeks =
of 5/28/02 and 7/23/02" would not be one I would say. Specifically, =
period is almost two short (8 weeks) for any kind of decent basing =
pattern, and certainly for this "M". Next is the price, which even now =
after a 41% gain in a single trading week is still only $8.90, well =
below the $12 recommended by HTMMIS and WON as a minimum to attract =
institutional interest. Third is the sheer steepness (granted on volume) =
of what you obviously see as the right side of the cup. Thru Friday, =
there is no evidence of a handle forming, and without a handle, you =
don't know where to grab the cup. And if this should prove over the next =
few weeks to be where the handle forms, then it will be forming =
dangerously high in this shaky "M".
I am sure I or other CANSLIMers could find other points at =
fault with this chart, but these are already enough for me to look for =
better opportunities.
