Hi Nancy:

My criteria are the exact same as 'traditional' CANSLIM, except that I do not filter out candidates due to price or ADV or market cap.

They need to have strong revenue and EPS growth (preferably with EPS growth > revenue growth), new products/services, a strong outlook, good ROE. Most importantly, a quantum surge in ADV, or a noticeable sustanined increase in ADV seems to be the primary indicator of a sustained run. To me, this means that 'I' are coming into the stock.

I prefer to buy them right at the traditional trigger point - which makes it tricky, as 5% isn't much in a $4-$8 stock - often leaving me very short time frames for optimal purchase price.

The truth is that I would prefer to deal in more liquid, higher-priced stocks - but since March 2000, I've found that the smaller stocks offer me more predictability of sustained breakouts.

Recent examples include: ILI, DOCX, OPTC, SGMA - pay particular attention to trading volumes, and you'll see that a sustained increase means the breakout is likely to hold.

Cheers,

Ian

  Ian-I would be curious to know criteria you use to find nanocap canslims and those would be different from regular canslim rules.  I have been wondering for quite a while how to scan or hunt for stocks like this and it would be perfect for people who do not have much money to get into the market.   Thanks for any details you could supply  nancy

    Hi Mike:

    I've been wondering about this too. With all the bad news, and worsening
    outlook, I've been baffled that the market hasn't really gone down
    significantly. The NASDAQ is only down 4% on the year, and the OEX is down
    less than 8%. Those numbers definitely do NOT match the 'terrible bear'
    scenario painted by the media.

    Also, given persistent high energy prices, and an undercurrent of rumours
    that technology spending has really started to slow down, it's amazing to me
    that the list of IBD leading groups is chock full of yesteryears tech
    winners - meaning that the traders and speculators seem to still be out in
    force.

    I haven't seen much panic selling (except perhaps in the gold's) yet, and my
    personal little world of nanocap CANSLIM has actually been doing
    exceptionally well.

    I'm starting to wonder if the Iraq conflict isn't actually serving to prop
    up the market, since it plays into the hands of the idea that 'things are
    "about" to get better'? Perhaps it is not possible for the market to really
    drop until after the Iraq situation has played out? I guess we'll have to
    keep an eye on the indices to find out.

    Just musing - since there isn't much official CANSLIM discussion going on.

    Cheers,

    Ian
