MessageDuke, Gene, Ed and all others, i do not believe this is not a =
personal battle. i believe Ed and I were upset what happened during the =
breakout of CVH , which was a fairly good CANSLIM stock. This could be a =
very good case study of a specialist- instead of doing a orderly =
market-did the contrary and, perhaps,costing fellow canslimers hundred =
of thousands of dollars due to his or her's?????????Could tell you more =
about some of the facts in this case-but will not for the interest of =
this board. Ed, thank you so much for your first posting-very thought =
out and right-especially about "with CANSLIM being one of of the most =
popular strategies for individual investors, execution is becoming more =
and more difficult." my apologies, david

    Ed, I appreciate your Americana theme. But what happened in CVH =
today is not a good thing. Of course you probably part of the old buddy =

        We had our representative on the NYSE floor go and speak with =
the
        specialist - he hid behind "order imbalance" - floor rules.  We =
were
        asked if we wanted to file a complaint - we decided no.  There =
will be
        many more battles like this.  What is does do is make us look at
        alternatives.  Like I mentioned in an earlier post - Island and =
other
        ECN's would have given us a fill around 32.50.  So we are =
exploring our
        execution options.  Our CANSLIM philosophy is broken down into =
three
        simple parts: Analysis, Money Management and Execution.  This =
time, the
        3rd element, execution, was the weakest link.  So , instead of
        complaining about it, we are doing what American's do best, head =
to the
        competition with a better product.
