Hi Cindy,
Welcome to the group, and CANSLIM. This is a good place to learn and ask =
questions, although it is pretty quiet right now. This is also a good =
time to paper trade, whether you are just starting out, or are a more =
experienced investor, as "M" continues to say stay in cash.
I use http://cbs.marketwatch.com/tools/stockresearch/screener for my =
initial screening. It's free, it's simple, both suit me. My best advice =
in setting up a screen is keep it simple, and set the parameters outside =
your comfort zone. Don't try to zoom directly into the list of perfect =
stocks that suit you, that virtually eliminates the human element, as =
well as eliminating a stock that may just miss one criteria, but be =
screaming a buy on all others. There are many other sites that also have =
free screening, this just happens to be one I am familiar with and have =
been using for several years.
Good luck,

I was delighted to read your post this morning. As a new subscriber =
to IBD and CANSLIM (have received my paper for a week now), I was =
looking for a way to put all this information together and develop a =
list of candidates. I had already decided to use a screener and have =
been fiddling with MultexInvestor - free at www.multexinvestor.com - =
before investing in a pricier system. I plan to paper trade my picks to =
gain knowledge and confidence that I am recognizing pivot points. I =
would be interested to hear recommendations for free screeners that may =
be superior to the one I use and also which parameters to select for =
screening that follow the CANSLIM criteria. I am also interested in =
hearing pros and cons of using the IBD premium tools vs.other available =
screening software. Anyone care to comment?=20

Hi Andy, Katherine, Mike or maybe anyone who sees things this way.
I don't know if you have seen some of my original posts where I =
demonstrated how I mined the paper (IBD)physically for data. I did this =
because first I was a beginner and wanted to have firmly established =
something in my mind that I could hang my hat on. The sorting of my =
database worked similar to yours,Andy and Katherine's although on a much =
simpler scale because mine was a sort of a sort (sort of speek..ha!). =
This worked for me for about 4 years until I ran out of time and =
patients with the paper. Also, as you say, I knew there were better =
ways to get the data, technology has made it possible to have a high =
speed internet for quick downloads, a laptop to take the offline data =
with me and an established backbone to keep from straying too far off =
what I have learned. At first I was like a kid in a candy store and =
couldn't make up my mind, but the more I follow a plan, the better I =
feel about it.
Your's, Andy, and Katherine's was probably the best advice for me to =
use the paper as a follow up. I now have the tools to look for a =
screener (a wireless laptop and highspeed internet). I understand what =
you and Katherine have done with the Excel sheets for doing the sorting =
of the data, now I just need to try a site as you say. My only problem =
here is that I would like to try a couple of free sites like MSN to at =
least get the terminology down so I don't get too confused right off. I =
read through Your and Katherine's sheets and see how you sift through =
your picks. I'm confidant I can follow your guide.
I guess I am kind of hung up on this one very important caractristic =
of CANSLIM that I just cannot seem to get past. VOLUME. As I looked at =
the paper, all my data started with high volume first as to try to =
follow the right side of the cup up to its pivot point. This seemed to =
eliminate the unnessary screening when I was using the manual data entry =
method. I have brought this up repeatidly in this forum. IBD and WON =
make such a big deal about volume. I notice how quiet the general media =
is about it. It's like I have the key to one of the Myst Worlds or =
something.
I know that V for VOLUME is not one of the CANSLIM accronymns, but I =
believe it is in the "I" for institutional sponcership. If you don't =
have ABOVE AVERAGE VOLUME in the right side of the cup, then from what I =
have read, you don't have a Full CANSLIM canidate.
I see from your sheet, you show average volume such as Katherine does. =
You have a scoring system on your personal cryteria. I'm guessing that =
Katherine sticks with her forward growth > 15%, Price > $6, Average =
Daily Volume > 30, RS >60, < 15% Below 50 day MA, > (above) 200 day MA. =
Then does she manually look at each and every stock on a chart to see if =
it has a proper base? Is this what you do too? You don't have as many =
stocks in your list, and I haven't tried to examine their charts to see =
if you picked these because of their=20
bases.
OR NOW, because of my tools, do I just enter as close to my prefered =
CANSLIM cyteria into the screener that I feel the most comfortable with =
and end up with a few hundred stocks and simply bring up each and every =
chart and build some sort of chart scoring system that I can sort to =
give me my list.
I understand when building a database that you need to start with the =
final product and work backwards. So in this case (and what I did with =
the paper) is to get my list down to a managable size of stocks that =
were close to their piviots to send myself cell phone alerts and emails =
to get my attention so I can do my day job.
I understand that I could just simply take out a subscription to a =
service that does most of this for me such as what Mike and Katherine =
have but the reason I got involved in CANSLIM in the first place was =
because I had someone else doing most of it for me. I might have stayed =
with them but not understanding how everything worked made me feel like =
something was wrong with the method. So before I can feel confident in =
using a service that takes most of the work out of this method, I need =
to prove to myself what I'm looking at. After I see that this is indeed =
the method that I want, and I know that to be a fact, to build on the =
confidence to replicate the data as close as possible to end up with =
similar results is my goal as is everyone else's.
In screening for volume, do you recommed that I fiddle around with one =
of the free sites or do you have a site you know of that might help me =
with this. Am I beating a dead horse with this, do you get the same =
results when you screen, somehow, for stocks <=3D 15% of 52 week high =
and then just flip through the charts like grease lightning! If I could =
just mind meld with a few of you for a few hours, I won't have to =
reinvent the wheel again or rewrite "The Universe in a Nutshell"!
Thanks any input.

Now let me get this straight. This group is studying WON's concept =
of CANSLIM. Granted, it doesn't mean you need to take a subscription to =

that WON teaches. If you do not get the paper, then how do you find =
those same stocks?
JC,
Almost everything that IBD provides can be calculated and screened =
thru subscriptions to other data services such as AAII Stock Investor =
Pro and TC2000. These relatively inexpensive services did not exist =
when IBD was created but are popping up regularly since the internet has =
made it into everyones home. I am hoping that IBD recognizes this and =
somehow provides more data or it will eventually go out of business. =
DGO provides services to screen stocks but they are extremely overpriced =
and under featured based on what is available for free of fee elsewhere.
I subscribe to IBD because I like the articles and the constant =
reminders of CANSLIM rules, but not because I cannot find stocks that =
have the best IBD rankings without IBD. In fact, using only IBD EPS =
ranking stocks of 80 or better will keep one out of some of the future =
best performing stocks. (See a recent "Ask Bill" question as IBD states =
this.) By using a tool that screens the fundamentals instead of the =
rankings, one will find the best stocks that may miss some arbitrary cut =
off by a statistically anomally. By this I mean it makes more sense to =
screen for companies meeting CANSLIM criteria than to look at a subset =
of stocks that a good growers to determine if they meet CANSLIM =
criteria. Stocks that meet CANSLIM criteria will magically have good =
IBD rankings. If I wanted I could buy one IBD every week or two for =
verification of my data.
To try to duplicate the actual IBD rankings requires some =
programming knowledge and therefore everyone cannot do it. I do it as I =
don't want to tie my future to a paper that may go out of business at =
some point. But my point is that IBD does not do anything mystical to =
generate this information and the rankings are not the most important =
thing needed to find quality growers. The data behind the rankings is =
more important and the data is not available from IBD.
