Nancy,
I have felt the way you are feeling, and you are not alone.
When I first joined this list about 1 1/2 years ago, I had very little =
idea what people were talking about, even though I had read WON's books.
At times I would ask questions if I felt there was a remote chance of my =
understanding the answer, but a lot of the time I lurked. (And a lot of =
the time, I didn't understand the answers I got to questions--and still =
don't always!) Being a teacher and writer, I don't have much time to =
spend on investing, so my learning curve has been rather shallow.
But I would just delete the messages I knew were beyond me and =
concentrate on the ones that were at my level. Keep reading WON's books, =
the lessons on ibd.com, Investors' Corner. I made a little CANSLIM =
notebook, with a section for each letter, for charts, industries, =
market, buy/sell rules, trading, and added to it whenever I had time.
Now I have some idea of what people are talking about some of the time, =
but it's still not 100%, nor does it have to be.
The more knowledgeable and experienced members of the list are =
incredibly generous with their time and knowledge, but they can't know =
what our background is. Also, we have to do the "footwork" ourselves.=20
I love being reminded (thank you, whoever posted this today) that it =
took WON 3 years to get the system!!=20
Don't give up!
Ann

Katherine-I know I said my last post on the subject would be my last, =
but please let me respond to your post. First , you know I respect your =
knowledge greatly-as do others on the board and I hope you see this post =
in the spirit it was meant and not argumentative. "need to develop =
mining skills" That taught me a lot. "many ways to mine"- that taught =
me more. " tools and methodology are discussed"- almost always I do =
not understand. When Gene sent his list today - once more I could not =
get it to show up on my screen and as always have not a clue why. " =
Veterans wouldn't use it anyway" I can really see the importance of all =
the veterans ignoring each others work even if the newcomers would eat =
it up and learn a lot from it -a definite waste of time. "Did not =
filter" - what the hell is that. "Uploading" what the hell is that. =
Linking mechanism and no longer build an auto link" since they go hand =
in hand-what the hell are they. I don't mean to be disrespectful-If you =
feel that I am, you already have an apology of mine on file. I just =
want you to see, one time, what this board looks like through my eyes. =
I'm pretty sure that Chris and I are not the only ones in this boat =
because you say three hundred people are on this list but the same few =
people post over and over about stuff that I guess they already know =
because they don't want to even discuss other peoples stuff. Please =
forgive me but I am not an engineer, or a lawyer, or a stockbroker. I'm =
just a plain ordinary girl trying to learn a trading system and I am =
really thinking I am way out of my league on this list. God Bless the =
ones that got the brains because apparently I am not amongst them. =
From one of the other 275 people. Respectfully- Nancy

Thanks, Gene....glad you feel that way.
I think the folks that would benefit most are the newbies (new to =
CANSLIM, that is)....but they need to learn to develop their mining =
skills as part of learning CANSLIM, so I think a weekly list would be =
more of a crutch than a help. There are as many ways to mine for stocks =
as there are fish in the sea, so finding a path that fits the person is =
far more powerful. There's often discussion on the list devoted to tools =
and methods for developing a personal watchlist and in the end is more =
productive than simply posting a list.
The veterans have their own methodologies already in place and =
wouldn't use it anyway. I don't pay attention to any of the lists that =
are posted, but do get something out of the discussion on individual =
stocks and more general CANSLIM and investing topics.
I've posted the hunting list several times before, but until the =
7/22 list, did not filter it for RS and relationship to 50 and 200 day =
moving averages before uploading. More than anything, the list was =
designed to provide links to charts and the CANSLIM evaluators and to =
provide a starting point if anybody wanted to start their own permanent =
personal watchlist. Unfortunately, IBD has changed their linking =
mechanism and there is no longer a way to build an auto link to each =
individual stock. My intent on 7/22 in filtering further for minimum =
technicals was done as a way to create some focus on what *might* be =
working given there had been some discussion on the list about that very =
topic and that the market appeared to be groping for a bottom.
