Katherine,
Thanks for explaining all this. I' m not sure I can afford your website, =
but will try the 7-day trial during summer vacation.
In the meantime, I can't figure out how to "browse" the site as a guest.
How do I do that? (I don't want to do my 7-day trial yet.)

Subject: RE: Re: [CANSLIM] breakouts to come
Hi Ann and all,
I have to agree with Bill on this. By the time something makes it to a =
list like the WR or the IBD100, they've already *become* the leaders. It =
makes a heck of a lot more sense to catch them as they're *becoming* =
leaders. That is, if RS>=3D85 is considered a leader, then how the heck =
did they get there? They rose from a lower RSRank to get there in the =
first place. If they were rising in RSRank, then they were *rising in =
price.* While looking for outperformance to the market and to other =
stocks is a cornerstone of CANSLIM investing, I've never agreed that =
mining should only be done after the stock is at RSRank 80 or 85. It's =
true that leaders will pull back and offer new entry points, so having a =
list of leaders is helpful. But the problem is, if you want to get the =
best part of the move, you've got to be watching these guys as they set =
up and start the lion's share of the move. The IBD started publishing an =
index of the WR stocks over time, showing a mild percentage gain vs. a =
sink hole return in the indexes during the Bear, but I suspect that if =
one were to instead publish an index of stocks breaking out of sound =
bases starting at a non-laggard RSRank>=3D70, then the index would be =
substantially higher.
Years ago, a friend of mine and I would meet every Saturday for coffee =
and pour over the IBD together. At the time, he kept asking why the heck =
all the stocks mentioned in the paper didn't offer up a good entry =
point. Most of the time, the lists of stocks, the minigraphs, etc. were =
already too extended. That meant that in order to use the IBD itself for =
mining, we had to sift through the lilliputian stock tables highlighting =
stocks from RSRank 70 and up, highlight up and coming Industries, add =
the stocks from "Where the Big Money is Flowing" then one by one look at =
all the charts. It was exhausting and incredibly time consuming. My =
conclusion after practically loosing my eyesight (and my Saturdays) was =
that while the IBD is an incredible resource for current news, =
information on companies, keeping tabs on the Market and learning about =
CANSLIM, it's a lousy mining tool.
Once I'd figured that out, I set out to instead devise a methodology =
that would let me mine for stocks that met the minimum requirements for =
a CANSLIM-quality stock and were *just* beginning to outperform and =
setup for a breakout. The goal was to own a stock before it showed up in =
the IBD. Just as Bill suggested, seeing it in the IBD *after* I'd found =
it was the ultimate test. Or, another way of saying it was that I didn't =
want to see a single stock mentioned in the IBD that I didn't already =
know about. For the most part, I think that implies that at the very =
least, one needs some sort of technical software to do this. Many here =
use HGS/Quotes Plus (QP2), DGO, Vectorvest and others to do this and =
each has their own particular approach. But even with these tools, it =
still requires looking through a lot of charts every day to make sure =
you're seeing the stocks *as* they set up. As I'd rather be hiking the =
Grand Canyon or having a margarita by the pool, that time spent =
motivated me to develop even better tools for finding stocks setting up =
for a breakout, leading to my partnership with Mike at the cwhcharts.com =
site. That means that there is a third alternative to sifting through =
the IBD or through a lot of charts, and that is to let a computer do all =
that time consuming work for you. Our approach is to let the computer =
find *all* the non-laggard stocks currently setting up in cup with =
handle bases, put them on a watchlist, and then let us know =
automatically if they are breaking out above their pivots. Now *there's* =
an excuse to have another dip in the pool!

Hi Bill - Are you referring to IBD's Screen of the Day?
I think in a recent discussion of the market, IBD mentioned that =
further breakouts at this stage of this bull run (however long it'll be) =
are more likely to be 'second rate'. The real leaders have broken out =
and already have good gains. This won't stop me from looking of course.

I use WR as a confirmation that I bought right. I like to see one =
of my buys show up there AFTER I've bought it. I also find those graphs =
tend to be "Monday morning quarterbacking". I think it's IBD's way of =
showing how you how a stock already broke out - not time to buy. I also =
find many of them have broken out of upwards trending handles which is =
troubling to me.
As far as the IBD100, I like to track #25-100 for increasing =
strength and a proper entry points. By design, most of the top will be =
already extended.
For list creation, I'd also do a quick scan of the daily updated =
stocks featured on the IBD site for possible setup/entry points.
Btw, the use of an offline charting tool such as Quotes Plus is a =

I was just going through the charts of IBD100 last night, and was =

stocks that should be scanned to check for proper price patterns?

Subject: [CANSLIM] breakouts to come
It seems to me, as I hunt through WR and IBD100, that there are =
a lot of=20
overextended stocks, and not to many on the right side of their =
cup or
ready to break out.
It would seem to me that there could be two reasons for this:
1. The rally is going to wane.
2. The WR and IBD100 do not produce stocks at this state of =
their
development.
Any comments??
