Regardless of the tools used - technical and fundamental - the big =
market picture is always appropriate.  Where is the market currently?

My opinion is that we're in one of those points between the bear and the =
bull.  I think that sentiment has been turning bullish for awhile.  I =
base that on nothing scientific, just personal observation and feel.  =
Over the past few months, we have seen some fairly bad news that the =
market has managed to get over quickly.  The M reaction has not been as =
punishing lately.  Contrast this with the M conditions of the past 2 to =
3 years.  Even good news received withering M punishment much of the =
time as stock after stock hit the skids.

But the M is not exuberantly bullish now, either.  Still a great deal of =
caution and concern.  Nothing much in the way of euphoria.  And a lot of =
real uncertainties out there with uncertain terrorist activity, =
uncertain economic policies, and uncertain international conditions.

I think that this significantly weighs on CANSLIM and other disciplines. =
 WON is clear: CANSLIM is a bull M discipline.  M conditions now are =
likely to result in more than average failed breakouts, or truncated =
runs for those stocks which do successfully breakout.  For those =
concerned about sell signals, I think the current M dictates tighter =
rules (stops, etc.) than in a confirmed bull M.

Any thoughts?
