    Subject: [CANSLIM] Boomer Babies



    The Boomer Babies concept that that I passed on several weeks ago =
was so poorly received by this group that I hesitate to bring it up =
again!  I'm not hurt, I promise.  I've never been known to run with the =
crowd, more often than not taking Frost's road less traveled.  =20



    However, dear friends, I have been doing some analysis on the list =
that now contains 84 stocks, and  I've discovered and interesting lack =
of correlation.  Interesting to me, at any rate.  I'll explain:



    The weekend of October 9, I created a Boomer Babies Watch List =
portfolio using the closing price on October 8 as the basis for each =
stock.  As of yesterday's close, this whole group is up about 4.5%, or =
over $12,000 if you'd purchased 100 shares of each.  No great shakes.  =20



    I thought it would be interesting to indicate on my spreadsheet the =
dates any of the stocks appear on IBD's Screen of the Day.  At risk of =
eliciting a "duh", the assumption is the SODs more than likely feature =
the better performing stocks to watch.  At least that's what WON often =
suggests.  Going back to October 3rd's SOD and working forward, I found: =




    Out of the 84 stocks on the Boomer Babies list, 38 (45%) have made =
at least one SOD appearance since 10/3.  (The most is 7 appearances by a =
total of five of the stocks.)



    Sorting the list based on the number of appearances by each stock =
revealed stocks that appeared more than five times increased an average =
of 5.5%; those appearing one to four times rose less than half that at =
an average of 2.3%.   As for the five that have appeared seven times, =
they're up a little over 8%.



    But what of the 56 stocks not appearing on a SOD since October 3?  =
Holy assumption, Batman, they're up an average of 9.3%!!  In other =
words, none of these stocks appeared in screens ranging from ROE leaders =
to Total Composite Ratings.



    What does all this prove? =20



    It tells me the Boomer Babies list is producing the kind of =
prospects I'm interested in:  Solid companies across a broad range of =
industries that stand to profit from the aging and eventual retirement =
of boomers.  (The "solid" is derived from, I think, the fact that all =
the candidates were culled from nine months of New America features.  A =
plus for IBD, the publication.)



    However, a) It has prompted me to consider ceasing the downloading =
every SOD for future study; b) I intend to follow the progress of each =
stock with CANSLIM on my mind, but not obsessively so; c) It has raised =
a level in cynicism regarding devotion to analysis of bases, breakouts, =
etc.  Those narratives are somewhat befuddling and often contradictory =
at best).  Sorry if that seems blasphemous, but that's my =
observation(s).  It just seems every time a breakout fails, they can =
spot the reason, in hindsight, of course.  Same theme, different day.



    Have a great weekend.



    Duke =20



    PS: It was my intent to post the results of my survey as described =
above, citing the specific stocks.  But, alas, as some of you know, I =
received a certified wrist-spanking from IBD's SS troops after posting a =
SOD analysis back in July.  Heaven forbid a further possible suspected =
violation of IBD's proprietary blah, blah, blah...
