Unless I miss my guess, I think David Thomson was referring to CANSLIM chart 
patterns in particular, not CANSIM in general. I don't think there's a good 
arguement against most of the rest of CANSLIM, except maybe from Value 
players.

I share his concern about so many people looking for Cup & Handles, as 
traders will take advantage of herd mentality when they can, but I think it's 
also obvious that Breakouts have to happen for stocks to move higher. 
Therefore I think it's mostly the nature of the setups that will change over 
time and require adapting to. In a true Bull Market, however, I think that 
enough interest will be aligned in the same direction that C&Hs will prove as 
effective as in the past. Just an opinion and FWIW.
