Earl,

Thanks so much for the spreadsheets.
Obviously you're busting your butt putting this information together.

I am relatively new to investing and new to CANSLIM. I've been reading these
posts for about a month and have read HTMMIS.

I have found several members talking about DGO. Can you tell me what the
site is? I am under the impression that it is similar to stocktables.com and
would like to have a site available that sorts data like IBD.

In addition, I was attempting to analyze the numbers in your spreadsheet and
would like clarification on a couple items.

What is the significance of the pivot, 5% and 20% down numbers?
Is the pivot point a point of resistance to watch for?

Thanks, Earl, I wish I had found this group before I invested some cash in
April....I'm down 35% since mid March ...all tech stocks...

I think you said you were 100% cash, but I'm holding, hoping for a rebound
this fall...
