Hi group,
 
I'm glad that we can discuss companies using CANSLIM to evaluate
companies, but I was wondering if any of you think there are any
negatives to this system (as discussed in HTMMIS).  I think it's
important to fully evaluate a system, look for any absolutes or
conditionals in the system and evaluate it against other options.  For
example I know CANSLIM works the best during a bull market and we are
not in a full fledged bull market right now.  Also, as far as using
WON's entry signals, specifically the chart patterns, I will quote Tharp
from his book, Trade your way to Financial Freedom re:Chart patterns in
general "However, such patterns are very difficult to computerize and
thus test.  In addition when people do test these various patterns, they
do not find anyevidence that they increase the reliability of entry
signals beyond the 50 percent level."  I do not doubt WON's methods, but
I believe that skepticism is healthy and that is beneficial to discuss
potential flaws in a system.
 
Jeff
