- --0-812344871-1058375254=:51992 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii The book is "Market Wizards" by Jack Schwager. It consists on in-depth interviews with successful traders. WON is interviewed, but all he really does is regurgitate CANSLIM. David Ryan is a trader who took the CANSLIM principles and talked about how he actually trades using them. Very informative. I also highly recommend the interview with Ed Seykota re: the psychology of trading. Dave Kelly Short <kelly.short@fw.us.neoris.com> wrote: David, What is the "Market Wizards" you refer to?

A good idea is to focus almost solely on risk and let the profits take care of themselves... which is what the 2% or less risk rule allows you to do. In his book, WON talks about how if you are alert, you will actually be out of many stocks before the 7-8% loss because you will be able to tell when a stock is not acting right. The 7-8% loss is the maximum. It's not a blind rule to follow. David Ryan, in Market Wizards, said he would sell half of any position that fell back to the pivot point. I highly recommend the interview with him. He talks very specifically about how to trade using CANSLIM. And he won some sort of investing championship 3 years in a row... which is not bad. Returns well over 100 percent each year. Personally, I think if you just buy breakouts and blindly use a 7-8% stop over the next few years, there is a good chance your portfolio will be eaten away... particularly if you are so naive as I was last year... to buy many stocks simultaneously without waiting for profits to show up first.
