David,

Some breakouts are showing more than 10% gain, and holding up. INTL is an
example - up approx 20% from its pivot. Maybe not a perfect CANSLIM stock,
but broke out of a 5 day handle on 8/14.

Aloha,

Bill, i don't recall any of the recent CANSLIM breakouts making 10+% except
for PIXR. nor has CVH - you mentioned CVH on your later post-made people
much money. nor do i know of these  large number of failed breakouts. if you
know otherwise please enlighten us. dave
