James, I snipped off the rest of your post, as it didn't apply to the
question you ask.

Does CANSLIM work? I say yes, at least for me, my style, my application, and
directly in proportion to my diligence, time available, discipline in
sticking to what I have found works for me.

That said, with over 15 years of full time involvement in the securities
industry, and an active investor throughout that time, plus another 30 years
of limited investing and activity, I find that CANSLIM makes the most sense
to me of all systems I have studied and tried. Have I tried all of them? Of
course not, but I have at least dabbled over the years in most that have
been around for more than a year or two.

CANSLIM has survived the test of time. People still use it, and new people
still want to learn about it. That alone means it is successful on some
level. And because I am not the only one that has been using it consistently
(according to my own style, interpretation, and all the other caveats) for
well over a decade straight and still believe in it, I must conclude that it
is successful for at least some investors.

That fact that this board, dedicated to learning about CANSLIM, is still
around after over 7 years, and still has a number of the original members,
says a lot about the success of CANSLIM.

Does anyone have any statistics that verify that canslim works?  The problem
I see is that it can not be broken down into a falseafiable hypothesis.
Thank you LACK
