Winston-this is Nancy-I have been gone so I hope this post is still related. 
  YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT in your view of my request.  I would learn 
nothing by people saying buy this or buy that.  I can get a stock broker to 
lose my money for me that way( and did as a matter of fact.)  You, I think 
have worded it better then myself. REAL TIME!     For example- It caught my 
eye because of this-I scanned it using this-The chart did this today and 
that might mean this, lets see what happens in a day or week as we follow 
it.  I think that would help me so much. If you would consider working like 
that with me I would love it and would welcome every one else's input also.  
I don't even care if the stock is on anyone's watch list.  I can learn just 
as much from following any stock(It just may not be a Canslim stock grade 
wise, ect.) but if you don't mind I would be very grateful.  Gene is also 
trying to help by leading us through the process.  At least I think he is 
going to allow me to participate but have not had a chance to read all my 
emails yet.  If not I will do the work anyway.  Please let me know what you 
think. Thank You Nancy  P.S. Maybe we could follow one of the stocks that 
Gene recommended.  I hope it would not take to much time daily once we start 
to look at the cahrts.
