Mike,

I know this isn't particularly what you want to hear, but "M" is just plain
lousy and the overwhelming percentage of the few stocks that manage a
breakout, proceed to breakdown. Of course there are a few stocks that do
manage to make consistent highs and it's tempting when seeing those to
assume it's just a question of doing better homework or tinkering with
CANSLIM rules a bit to find the next one, but the odds are overwhelmingly
against it in this market environment. There are some foreign stocks (e.g.
China & Argentina) that are quite strong and I raised the issue of trying to
apply CANSLIM to them a couple of weeks ago, but it was not greeted with
much enthusiasm which I fully understand.
