Tom, very nice testemonial.  I appreciate your experience in the markets.  I
have much to learn.  Would you please be very specific in how canslim works?
 I try to take a scientific approach to the markets.  Is there anything that
you guys have backtested?  Regrettably I have lost millions to my brokers
daytrading.  I can't afford to trade systems unless the are an edge.  LACK
