John,

Funny you bring this up. Myself being a programmer, I still like hand
written notes!
Without knowing the number of stocks you own I'd say perhaps your holding to
many if you can't keep track? I say this because part of the canslim
criteria is focusing on just a few good stocks to maximize your gains.
Holding a large number kind of turns it all into a mutual fund if you will.

There's been some discussion here in the past about how many to own at once.
I seem to recall WON mentioning at one of his seminars something like 5-6
max for a $100k trading portfolio. That said, I have a slight problem in
that I allowed myself to slowly pick up multiple small positions over time
(kept getting my feet wet...).  They're all doing ok so I'm sort of stuck
with them for now. (g)
