As an off shoot of Mike Gibbon's excellent inquiry concerning XRAY we found one of their competitors, PDCO, which appears to be building the right side of a cup. I quickly put together a one page overview of the basic fundamentals/technicals and sent it to the members of my investment club. I know several club members will give it a review and respond within a few days. If you would like a copy of my summary report, let me know and I will send it to you off line.

Then along comes Mike, putting a stock on the table, including a description of the company, most of the essential CANSLIM facets about the stock, and WHY he liked it. When I saw this, my intent was to communicate a) to him that his summary IS superlative, and b)to the rest of the group, particularly newcomers, that this is what we mean herein when we say, "Post any stock you're considering and want feedback on, but be sure to tell us why you're posting it, how do you think it conforms to CANSLIM, etc. For your information, off list, Mike responded to me in French. Ah, I thought, my idiom was well directed; and yes, a sign of a certain level of "class." The French notwithstanding, Mike's contributions to this group (cwh online analysis tools, among other things) may not put him in the highest social class, but I think many of the regulars will agree he's probably ahead of whatever is next to the highest!
