James, read the book, and follow along in this group for a while, or spend
some time in the archives of posts from here. Your question has been asked,
and discussed, many times. The most important letter in CANSLIM is "M", and
there is an entire chapter on it in the book, plus much other material in
the FAQ.

" CANSLIM advocates a 100% cash position when the technical

since 2000?  How do you know when the market turns negative, until it goes
down?  Then how do you know when it is time to get back in when the market
goes up?  So I sell after it starts going down and I buy after it starts
going up?  I do not understand..LACK
