Ok, for the sake of organization here is a link to my filter:

As I mentioned earlier I am using the EXACT recommendations from
O'Neil's book but I am getting NO query results.  Why is this?  Are
WON's standards too high?  What fundamentals should I be using?  I
assume we all can agree on the CANSLIM methods but I guess there is
disagreement in the specific numbers to be used.

Hi Gene,
 
Please see my follow up clarification post on the comment on "the prior
52 weeks."
 
I did not state nor intend to imply that MSN screeners weren't
effective, but that they would not produce the same results as those you
would get when using DGO/IBD RSRanks. It's worth noting for those that
are unaware that the RS values at free screening sites such as MSN are
*not* the same as those from IBD/DGO. The same is true of industry
ranks, etc., as the methdologies are quite different.
 
It does leave a particular question, however, as to why you would find
it necessary to use free MSN screeners when you use several different
subscription services (HGSI and Vectorvest) and also use Metastock for
screening (though I realize you probably use the QP2 data from the HGSI
feed). HGSI, in particular, closely mirrors the IBD/DGO RSranks and
includes EPS ranks as well. They also have a particularly comprehensive
set of tools for performing analysis of a stock's technicals and
fundamentals. Why use so many different tools?

Hi Katherine, I'm pretty sure that the RS ranks are not based over the
prior 52 weeks.
And, I have found the MSN screener to be very effective.

Hi Jeff,
 
I might add a note of caution on using the MSN screener. That is, their
RS ranks are based on a flat change in price over the prior 52 weeks.
This is significantly different than IBD's RS ranks, which are weighted
so that the price action in the most recent quarter carries more weight
(40%), while previous quarter's each carry 20% weight. The other
difference in RS ranks is that the database over which they are
determined is very different. RS ranks for the IBD are based on a
universe of stocks which includes *only* common stocks on the major US
(NASDAQ, NYSE, AMEX) and Canadian exchanges, plus closed end bond and
equity funds. From what I remember, MSN RS ranks are calculated across
all equities in the US markets, including warrants and preferreds. While
the RS ranks at MSN are indeed useful, you would not be emulating the
IBD rankings for purposes of filtering your stocks.

Jeff,
 
If you're using a free scanner, why don't you use the one Gene posted a
couple of days ago (I'll repost his post) and play with the criteria
there.  If I adjust relative strength to 80 or above it spits out 15
names.
 
As for CANSLIM criteria, after M one supposes they are all important,
and my descending order is no better (could be a lot worse) than anyone
else's.  However, you are asking a question that I answered 2 days ago,
at least from my perspective.  This is from my note on 8/4 to Yien:
 
 
<<Good, that's a bunch of information that you can't use.  Now, for some
you
can.  There are only 3 numbers which matter, when all the dust is
settled.
They are NOT p/e, d/e, current ratio, PEG, profit margin or inventory
turnover.

THEY ARE:  Price paid for shares, Price received for shares, Time held.

Now, MILSCAN (Canslim to some of you) is a very interesting approach,
and
can possibly, with strong position and money management systems, help
you to
buy low and sell high in a timely timeframe.

Here's how I think of these factors, in descending order of importance:

<<M is for the market and the market trend.  We are at an inflection
point
here, so it's lookout below, or perhaps lookout above.

N is for new highs in the stock, breaking out above the pivot point

L is for an relative strength rating of 70 or better

A is for annual earnings growth (this is for additional comfort)

C is for current quarterly earnings (this is for additional comfort)

I is for institutional sponsorship  (this is a timing issue--I think I
trust
the chart over this, for some reason)

S is for supply of stock (looking for a relatively low no. of
shares--here I
want to exclude the over-issued monsters like CSCO and INTC where it
will
take a ton of momentum to move the billions of shares outstanding).

In closing, using TA and FA together is a good idea, but when in
conflict,
trust the TA.  Remember, out of 7000 stocks we are looking for 1 or 2
names
a week on which to carefully place our hopes. >>

Sorry about the misunderstanding I was using the CANSLIM acronym.  I'll
explain my filter again.  First off I use MSN as my filter source.  Here
is my filter that I use: current earnings per share (the same quarter a
year ago)>=70%, annual earnings per share over the past 5 years, >= 24%
compounded, shares outstanding<25,000,000, relative strength> 80%.

Jeff,
 
I don't understand which filter/scan you are using, or what all your
variables mean.  If you're using a public scan or stockcharts, maybe you
can put in a link here?
 
If C = capitalization and you are using only the top 30% of stocks
you've filtered out way too many stocks already.  In capitalization I
only filter out the very top stocks, but that's just me.  I don't know
what your S is.  For relative strength I use the top 40% of the market,
that is, stocks outperforming 60%.
 
I'm willing to let some other names in because after this scan gives me
names, I'm happy to look through charts to find appropriate patterns.

After reading O'Neil's book I decided to use the filter C>=70, A>=5,
S<25,000,000, relative strength>80 and last volume 1.5 average quarterly
volume.  To my dismay, no stocks popped up.  How would you alter this
filter?

that you

turnover.<br>
<br>
THEY ARE:&nbsp; Price paid for shares, Price received for shares, Time =

and<br>
can possibly, with strong position and money management systems, help =
you to<br>
buy low and sell high in a timely timeframe.<br>
<br>
Here's how I think of these factors, in descending order of =
importance:<br>
<br>
&lt;&lt;M is for the market and the market trend.&nbsp; We are at an =
inflection
point<br>
here, so it's lookout below, or perhaps lookout above.<br>
<br>
N is for new highs in the stock, breaking out above the pivot point<br>
<br>
L is for an relative strength rating of 70 or better<br>
<br>
A is for annual earnings growth (this is for additional comfort)<br>
<br>
C is for current quarterly earnings (this is for additional comfort)<br>
<br>
I is for institutional sponsorship&nbsp; (this is a timing issue--I =
think I
trust<br>
the chart over this, for some reason)<br>
<br>
S is for supply of stock (looking for a relatively low no. of =
shares--here I<br>
want to exclude the over-issued monsters like CSCO and INTC where it =
will<br>
take a ton of momentum to move the billions of shares outstanding).<br>
<br>
In closing, using TA and FA together is a good idea, but when in =
conflict,<br>
trust the TA.&nbsp; Remember, out of 7000 stocks we are looking for 1 or =
2
names<br>
a week on which to carefully place our =
