Subject: [CANSLIM] Introduction


Greetings All,=20

In reading another post this morning I found that it was considered good =
manners here to give a formal introduction of yourself. I had seen many =
do it over the months but didn't realize it was expected. My apologies =
for the faux pas.=20

I am a Realtor in Redding, CA who has been following the Market since =
February of 1999. Our office started an Investment Club at that time and =
I volunteered to help run it. I knew absolutely nothing about the Market =
when we started but I had a keen interest in learning about it. I have =
devoured everything I could about stocks ever since and have shared my =
education with our Club. We get together monthly and discuss the various =
concepts learned so as to adapt the more promising thoughts along the =
way. I have exposed myself to the NAIC method, which our Club used for a =
time; the Motley Fool methods; VectorVest, which we're very happy with; =
and now CANSLIM; with various smaller technical trading forays along the =
way. All and all we use VectorVest for our mining, timing, and portfolio =
management and are currently incorporating CANSLIM into our method.=20

I was invited to this CANSLIM Group several months back, at the end of =
2001 I believe, but have mostly lurked while I learned what I could =
about CANSLIM. I have long since gone through the Learning Center at IBD =
and have recently read and reread HTMMIS and the 24 Questions books. One =
thing that I found comforting is that many of the rules our Club =
developed along the way are exactly the things WON espouses too. More =
importantly, however, are the things we didn't think of. Prime among =
these is the questionable nature of using PEs to judge a stock's =
attractiveness. In reality we had gravitated towards the Motley Fool =
model, which valued stocks more on a PEG basis. After exposing ourselves =
to CANSLIM, however, we all agree that this is a model we prefer to =
adapt.=20

I hope that serves as an adequate introduction. I'll only add that I =
think this is as good a group as I've seen to discuss stocks with and I =
really appreciate the civility here.=20

Best Regards,=20

Robert W. Elmer=20
