- --part1_17c.131b9a31.2b22a1ad_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Tom, I am a fundies first investor too (except with ETFs) and my point was not that fundies do not matter - because they do in the intermediate/long term. But many TA traders make a bundle of money on that first 5-10% of the move without even glancing at the fundies. On the other hand, many very good CANSLIM stocks fail the TA breakout and go below the 8% that requires hardcore CANSLIMers to sell at. After looking at thousands of breakouts going back into the mid 90's in TC2000, I've think it is clear that the odds of a breakout working for the first 4-5 days have nothing to do with fundies. And if the market is sailing upward, then breakouts sail upward (as can be seen by just looking at the last two months). Once the market and the industry group has carried these breakouts up some percent, (I've seen the actual numbers in IBD before), then the only fuel to continue the move is in the fundies. CANSLIM criteria helps identify which have the potential to continue climbing after the "first date" effect wears off.
