I particularly like its ease of use (very Excel-like.) My problem is that I probably have way too many tools. I find that I spend more time installing, configuring, and using all of these tools than I do using the information I glean from them. And I'm not quite sure if I'm using the best available software, as there are a wealth (you should pardon the expression) of choices. So my idle question is: if you had to pick ONE online program/website from your arsenal to receive the Oscar for Best Tool, which one would it be?

Growth last quarter was negative, ROE is 6.3%, far far too low, and its not exactly a growth industry. I would guess this constitutes a turnaround play, probably be an upswing in business with an economic rebound, but from a purely Canslim point of view it doesn't measure up. Chart does look more or less constructive. On 22 Mar 2002 at 20:21, Matt & Alicia Leverette wrote: > I would like to get some comments on ESA.

Its a Cup and Handle definition that I copied out of Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities magazine several years ago, written by a canslim practioner, a fairly clear and concise definition of a cup and handle. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The cup of the pattern typically forms during intermediate-term market corrections and is usually 3 to 6 months in duration, but can be as long as 12 months during bear markets or as short as seven weeks during bull markets. The left side of the cup is a downtrend correcting the previous uptrend. The stock price bottoms and begins to advance, forming the right side of the cup. "During the formation of the cup's right side, the stock becomes subject to profit-taking at its old highs - the beginning of the cup formation - from sellers who bought at the cups bottom. In addition, investors who bought the stock near its old highs on the left side of the cup are anxious to sell." "The handle of the cup is usually more than one or two weeks long and should drift down on very low volume and form in the upper half of the pattern, preferably the upper third. A handle that drifts lower is important because it indicates that enough disbelievers are still active at that point. "... At this point, the volume should be light, indicating a lack of sellers. During the formation of the handle, new buyers step in and smart money adds to their positions, supporting the stock. When the stock breaks out from its handle, volume must surge by 40% above its avg. daily volume to confirm that demand is present at the stock's earliest emergin point." "Handles may also form in slightly new high ground when the right side of the cup drives somewhat higher than the cup's left side. ... Whatever the variation, the breakouts above the handle's high - the high on the right side of the cup - is what the investor wants to buy, which may or may not be a new high for the stock." " Many C&H patterns are 12-20% in depth, and can be as deep as 35-40% following market corrrections. Unless a bear market is present, depths of more than 45% are too excessive, making it difficult for a stock to successfully break out once the pattern is complete." - - - -To subscribe/unsubscribe, email "majordomo@xmission.com" - -In the email body, write "subscribe canslim" or - -"unsubscribe canslim".
