You are right . . . It's a "no-win" situation.

Hi Wyndy,
My comment about chucking CANSLIM was tongue-in-cheek. You can't =
measure a system unless there are firm recommendations and/or =
nonsubjective components for entry/exit.* CANSLIM is not about telling =
you specifically which stocks you should and shouldn't buy, it doesn't =
recommend stocks---it's a process of investing long in fundamentally =
sound high-growth stocks using an intermediate term entry/exit strategy =
based on technicals. It's a long strategy intended for uptrending =
markets rather than an "all weather" strategy.
My intended point was that if someone prefers a system that has no =
subjective components, is mechanically based and/or requires statistical =
evidence before following it, then CANSLIM is not the right strategy for =
them. If they are instead sufficiently confident in anecdotal evidence =
of success and are comfortable with interpreting subjective criteria, =
then CANSLIM will "fit" the person.
Katherine
* What can and has been done is to take a rule-based interpretation =
of CANSLIM and then enter/exit only on quantifiable elements. When this =
is done, one can measure the performance (and it's quite good, by the =
way). However, every time I show a study that did this to someone, they =
find some reason to doubt the results. There's just no pleasing some =
people. They don't believe it if you *don't* show statistics, and when =
you *do* show them statistics, they say that "statistics lie." Sounds =
no-win to me.
