I will be the pinky, Duke, I am just a little guy.

Yes, I would never, ever describe my personal investing style (in contrast
to what I publicly post in commentary) as pure CANSLIM. It's much more the
generic knockoff, Parkay (hope that's not some copyright violation) version,
home tailored, home crafted, adjusted many times to suit my aggressiveness,
high risk tolerance, and personal interest in small / micro cap companies.

Okay, Tom, you get the distinction of being the first to step forward on
the one-hand tally.  That means you get a choice, if you act now:  You
can be the pinky or the thumb!

I don't know anyone herein who would doubt your word.  However, my
recollection is, by your own frequent admission, your style is not pure
CANSLIM.

Right?

Dave and Duke,

I made the tally for 2001 with a 76% return. Did well earlier this year
as well, until I overloaded my IRA with a single stock. Murphy's law
prevailed, and I paid the price for ignoring one of my most basic rules
- - always, ALWAYS stay diversified.  My margin account, however,
continues to make up for some of that stupidity, currently up about 55%.

And yes, if anyone doubts my word and cares to challenge the above
statement, I can prove it with acct statements.

Dave:

You'll only need part of one hand for the tally!

I'm curious as to how many have 'hung on' and what types of signals
have helped them make that decision.    I am one who did well in the
Bull; but have seen a good chunk of my equity decline by trying to get
back in to what seem to be follow through days, only to get
whipsawed back out and then some.    I use a 10% stop loss role (a
little more liberal than pure CANSLIM) - but it doesn't take too many of
those to erode a good base of capital.

Anyway... bottom line is I haven't been tempted to get in lately, but
I'm still struggling to read "M".   If people have been successful at
being out since March 2000, I'd love to hear why.

Dave
