Welcome to the group, Roger, you will continue to find content and thought
provoking posts here. We get off topic like any group will, but always end
up back on CANSLIM.

hi everyone,

with all the introductions going on in the last little while, i figured now
is
a good time for my own.

i am a canadian software developer with 12 years experience, working in the
entertaining business for the last 7 (my company writes s/w for putting
together and adding special effects to movies/commercials/rock video/etc).

i have been "saving" since i started working, but i would not call it
investing.  mostly a mutual fund here or there, some savings bonds and GICs.
about 5 years ago, i decided i needed a financial advisor, since i just
didn't
have time to study the market or could ever possibly navigate such a complex
system (not).  in any case, over the last five years i have annualized
about -
5%, not a very good record.

so a couple of months ago i took it upon myself to learn more about
investing.
i asked some friends who were "into investing" for some pointer, and i got
the
motley fool book.  i thought it was interesting.

i then got malkiel's "random walk" book.  i thought it was a very
fascinating
book, quite humourous, and had very convincing arguments.  my favourite line
from the book: "a financial statement is like a bikini.  what it reveals in
interesting, but what it hides is essential".

being a person that never listens to only one side of the story before
making
up his mind, i decided to read a book contrary to malkiel.  that is when i
found HTMMISv3.  it just made a lot of sense.  i am currently
reading/studying
it for the third time (and i have lots of questions, please stand by :-)).
imho, WON is the perfect white to malkiel's black.

i have been lurking on this email list for about 2 weeks.  i truly find the
quality of the postings here outstanding, and the members cordial, friendly,
and knowledgeable.  i look forward to spending lots of time here.

for the immediate future, i plan on getting away from my advisor and
implementing malkiel's strategy.  i then plan on learning and slowly
starting
to practice CANSLIM.

thanks for letting me join your group.

Roger Tawa
