My minimum position is 300 shares, and I may buy up to several thousand in several pieces. I am a patient investor, if I only fill part of my planned position before a stock takes off, then my glass is half full, and I enjoy that. And if it tanks, thank goodness my glass is only half full, the damage is not so great. I usually use market orders on the buy side, altho will also use limits below the prior day's close when there was a price spike, hoping for a pullback. On the sell side, I tend to use more limit orders, and be patient, especially if I have a large position and it is traded thinly. my typical stock trades under 50K shares a day, many under 10K a day yes, there are problems with trading thinly traded stocks. I have bought and sold many where my trade was the total volume for the day. Guess I just have a knack for it, and enjoy the challenge. That's why I don't post my list of small caps, it very definitely is not for most investors.

If one buys more than 50 shares you become the market maker. In the past several days I remember a lot of group discussion about PMFG (not your selection) which averages 5700 shares per day! Some days it trades 200 shares TOTAL! My belief is that with issues trading less than 100,000/day there are often problems trading in or out. - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Worley" To: Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2002 11:24 PM Subject: Re: [CANSLIM] SAH > Hi Marty, > > My primary focus is on stocks hitting new highs, works especially well in a > lousy market, where money is moving back and forth to such an extent that > indexes stand still, or decline.

(CANSLIM jc) I too have thought of stopping the paper then use a follow through week and get a one month subscription to DGO. I would like to know how you find the main concept of WON's elephants in the bathtub without WTBMF in IBD? This list "is" IBD, period, if you turn off all the noise! As I indicated in my 4 years of data entry of WTBMF, looking at their charts and selecting a possible CWH, Double Bottom, or Flat Base and Stocks in the News data lists, I find some 90% of the time a Mini Graph has shown up to give me the fundamental data that I use to create my sorted lists....(see my "CANSLIM jc" from April 20, 2002). As outlined in his books, tapes, videos, paper, seminars and online, all the CANSLIM rules should be applied otherwise you are using some other style of speculation that does not have the models developed my WON. My observations now are that IBD is not listing as many "NEAR NEW HIGHS" in the Stocks in the News Mini Graphs, and are listing stocks that appear to be extended from their consolidations by more than the %15 that they say they don't show. So I too am a little confused at times by their inconsistencies, but maybe with the market we may be seeing some short candidates and or maybe the CANSLIM CWH's are just not there, yet. It would be great to talk to the people who choose which of the New Highs get chosen for the Stocks in the News. Has anyone ever found the elephants anywhere else?
