Latest report on consumer spending/income not only on target with
expectations, but continues to show more spending than income. I would
agree that the retail group starting to look a little tired, but it's
had a good run.

Apparently it's ok for you to allude to your understanding of what WON
"really means" by ref to seminars and stuff, but every time I use my
personal experience with his training and staff association and years
of getting his institutional picks, it's of no value. I guess the
difference is you are consuming what he puts out for retail, while I
have been trained on what he presents for institutional. Costs are
comparable, a few hundred dollars for IBD or DailyGraphs or several
hundred thousand a year for institutional services. I apologize for
trying to share what I have learned over a number of years. I'll try
not to persist in repeating the mistake, since you obviously don't
care to listen, nor now consider me truthful or reliable either. The
restraints on me for the past ten years on what I could disclose were
considerable, but I suspect there may still be a member or two in this
group who can recall me from time to time saying something like "I
think Wm O'Neill would like this stock" that they just posted on.
While they may not have realized it, that was a hint of its addition
to his institutional buy list. That was the best that I could do at
the time.

db, if there are "hundreds" of stocks currently meeting all seven
elements of CANSLIM, then how about a one time post of them. Heck, I'd
settle for even 50 or 100. Since you are a trader making your living
off canslim, I would think you could do this far easier than Dan with
his computer scanning. I won't even ask you to keep posting lists,
just do it one time to prove you can.

And so far, db, I have been able to restrain myself from telling you
and the group just what I think of you and your attitude. I have not
resorted to name calling with any members of this group, but you have
come the closest to testing my restraint. My deepest regret is that so
many lurkers and other members may be reading what you say, and taking
it as gospel, while I sit back and refuse to respond because I am so
tired of being constantly attacked by you and others. Don't know why I
even feel any responsibility to respond, I don't own the list, I
didn't start it, didn't invite most of the members to join. But I do
hate seeing investors misled, it really gets my goat. Maybe I'll try a
personality adjustment and go back to lurking.

Wrong on both counts, once again, db.

And James, don't expect to find info on CADE, or any other similar
stock, in Value Line. VL is pretty conservative, and a long way from
cansliim as well.

As to "free canslim", I guess if you want or can work with or are
comfortable with generic cs type data, that's fine. For me, I am
willing to pay for the real thing.

No, Tom.  The difference is that what I "allude" to is verifiable,
whereas what you provide is not.

<<I apologize for trying to share what I have learned over a number of

No apology necessary.  But you do tend to behave as though you have
some special knowlege as a result of your experience.  Is there no one
else on this list who shares this knowledge?

<<I won't even ask you to keep posting lists, just do it one time to

I'll pass, Tom.  But I'd be more than happy to explain how to go about
finding them for yourself.

<<My deepest regret is that so many lurkers and other members may be

Fire away, Tom.  You're one of the more intelligent and knowledgeable
members of the group.  But don't go all sensitive about being attacked
and then expect to be able to turn around and attack others with
impunity.

Whether you choose to believe anything I've said about the
modifications O'N has made to CS does not keep me up at night.  But,
by the same token, don't get your feelings hurt if I and others choose
not to believe that O'N has told you in a fax that low-priced
microcaps are now OK.  Works both ways, Tom.  If that makes you angry,
then I guess you'll just have to be angry.

Db,

Please bear with me, I am trying to grasp the triple screen theory.

For CDWI, If there is a buy signal on weekly MACD  and even though there is
no buy OR sell signal form daily STOC or MACD, one can enter a trade ?

In order to better understand this logic, I am looking at Dan Sutton's
Watch list for 6/27/98. Screening thru Triple screen, I do not see any buy
signal on any security from weekly MACD so much the same for weekly STOCH.
Do you agree ? If not, can you please eloborate on 2 or 3 security which in
your opinion have buy signal.

Thank You,

FYI
I performed an interesting exercise this morning.  I printed a copy of Ian
Woodward's scan http://members.aol.com/RANord/reports/PUBSTK1.HTM  and
sorted from this list using my criteria (EPS>95; RS>90; GS>90; A/D=A or B;
Accelerating Current Earnings & Sales).  Ian's scam could be useful to me.
I only wish that it was more current (this one was dated June 12, 1998).

Top four was:  APCO, TMBS, INSS,SYNT;

Next four was:  FFTI, HBOC , LGTO , SELAY

Uncovered two that I had not noticed before:  SELAY & INSS.

I will now do further research such as other CANSLIM factors such as Annual
Earnings, "N", "L", "I", & chart pattern; also look at TA & news.

I'm afraid you may be confusing the signals I look for with the Elder
triple screen.  Ours are similar, but different.  If it's the Elder
screen you're interested in, I'm not the person to ask.

What I look for, if it's appropriate to the condition of the market,
is a weekly MACD that is turning up from an oversold level.  Whether
the entire MACD turns up from below 0 or from above without ever
having fallen below at all has partly to do with the degree of the
correction the group or stock underwent in the first place.

You'll note, however, that it can weeks for a MACD that long-term to
make that long, slow turn.  In the meantime, the daily MACD has time
to perform the same maneuver, assuming that it is or has been at an
oversold level as well.  But, again, the daily MACD is slow, and while
it's turning upward, the daily sto may move up and down several times,
particularly if the stock is taking its own sweet time to move out of
its base.  That's when I use the short-term moving averages to help me
determine whether this time is it or if I should continue to wait.

So, I want to see the weekly MACD turning up, either from below 0 or
above, I want to see the daily MACD turning up as well, either from
below 0 or above it, and I like to see the slosto moving up from an
oversold level as well, though the last is not as important as that it
not be in oversold territory and turning downward.  Finally I look at
the short-term EMAs I mentioned to see if they're moving upward.

This sounds far more complicated than it is and takes far more time to
explain in words, much less in print, than it takes to actually do,
which is about 10 seconds.

As far as Dan's list goes, I haven't had time to look at it.  I'm in
the process of working with my cohorts to update my IBD groups lists. 
And I'm fully invested again so I'm not motivated to look for stuff I
can't buy anyway.  But not getting the sort of buy signal you're
looking for is not unusual at this stage of this particular bull leg. 
Groups seem to be divided between those that are way beyond a buy
signal and those which haven't even begun to turn around, with little
in between.  When the more major correction comes, you'll have far
more opportunities.

I'll try to look at Dan's stocks tonite or tomorrow and put together
some charts.  Since these kinds of posts irritate so many people, I'll
just put it together as a private e-mail and send it to you directly.

<<Someone mentioned that most of the data needed for CS is posted at
BigCharts; all the rest I need is in IBD, $1 a week!  Trouble is, I
live in England and haven't yet figured out an inexpensive way to get
that kind of info from here.>>

If I may, John, allow me to pull together in one spot what I've posted
regarding accumulating all this data for free.

You don't say exactly what you mean by "data needed for CS", so I'll
assume it's the usual and ordinary.

For financial information, go to Bill's find,
http://www.stocksite.com/ .  If you select "Financials", you'll
receive everything DailyGraphs provides in this area, including
earnings before charges (if you click "Income Statement").  Stocksite
does not do the percentage changes for you, but you may, if you like,
figure them with a $2 calculator rather than subscribe to DG for the
information.  Note:  DG provides two years' info; stocksite supplies
up to three.

For RS, EPS, GS, A/D and other information, go to 

http://members.aol.com/RANord/

A friend of mine, Roger, created and maintains this site out of the
goodness of his heart.  If you love it, tell him so.  It's HGS
oriented, but there isn't that much difference between HGS and CS.  At
any rate, all the EPS, RS, GS, etc. numbers are there and it's all
downloadable to Excel.  You can sort and rearrange and track to your
hearts' content.  He updates the list once a week.

or

http://www.delphi.com/invest/

Regarding the latter, you must register, but it's free.  Select
Investor's Forum or "forum", then go to the CANSLIM list (this
comprises the bulk
of the discussion).  Select the "Weekly Stock List" for stocks, or the
"Weekly IBD Calculated Group RS List" for groups.  If you have trouble
navigating the site, let me know.  There are also other lists which
you may find useful, but these two should be most helpful.

http://www1.FreeEDGAR.com/home.htm

Some of you may not know about this.  It's like EDGAR, but it won't
bite you in the ass.  It's fast, easy, and very friendly.  If you've
avoided SEC filings in the past, give it one more try.


For charts, for percentage gainers in price and volume, and for stocks
reaching new highs and lows (among other things), go to BigCharts
(http://www.bigcharts.com/).  If you're an intermediate-term investor,
as I am, use the following settings:

Time: YTD (then six-month and three-month, if you like)
Frequency:  Daily (or Weekly, if you prefer)
Moving Averages:  EMA(3-Line).  Type in 20, 50, 200 (or 150).
Upper Indicators:  None
Lower Indicators:  Volume+
Chart Style:  Change "Chart Size" to "large".  If you want it even
larger, select "Print Chart" and "OK".  Then you can print or not, as
you prefer.

Make these your defaults.  You can change your settings, such as Time,
as you wish, but as long as you don't save the changes, the default
settings will remain as they are.

If you want to experiment with RSI, stochastics, and MACD, you're free
to do so, but you can put up only one of these at a time.  If you want
to plot them all at once, you'll have to get a separate charting
program.  Or print out the separate charts and lay them out on the
floor. 

And that's it.  CANSLIM for free (except for the $2 calculator).  What
to do with all this information is the trick, but, at a minimum, all

than a Yahoo portfolio, which is also free.  But setting that up is a

Thanks for the info db. I couldn't find the CS on Motley fool online. BTW,
since you mentioned MF, I went to their site and noticed the "Foolish 8
Spreadsheet." Anyone on this list using it, and if so any comments. It looks
pretty good. For $50 per year, each month I would receive an email listing
all the stocks that meet the following criteria:

1. A high relative strength of 90 or more
2. A minimum price tag of $7 per share
3. Daily Dollar Volume somewhere from $1 million to $25 million
4. Sales and earnings growth of 25% or greater
5. $500 million or less in sales
6. Net profit margin of at least 7%
7. Insider holdings of 10% or more
8. Positive cash flow from operations

However, some of the stocksites on the net have screening functionality
which means I could probably do this myself.

Also, www.stocksite.com is excellent as you've noted.

Thanks.

Exactly! I believe it was around mid 50's RS. Then the 1800% earnings
quarter was reported, it gapped up 20% in one day and went vertical from
there! Institutions had been jumping on it (according to S&P Stock Guide)
for over 6 months, even though it was a pup. I'd never seen anything like
it before. I knew something was cooking.

Tom, no longer practicing CANSLIM would be a "fate worse than death" <G>.
I'm simply thinking that the list of stocks which appear on Timeliness
Ratings pages, along with the reasearch of VLS would be where I start
looking for possibilities. From there, I would then get online and find out
as much as possible in the way of CANSLIM stuff. I found that I was only
using a few pages out of the IBD each week, not having time to read the
rest.

BTW, are you in an area in FLA that is being threatened by the fires? I hope
not, but if so, good luck.

I am not surprised you can't/won't produce the list of several hundred

Yup, Apparel Retailers seem to have pushed it as far as they can with the
declining volume. They deserve a break, they've had a phenominal run. The
MACD weekly histogram has enough momentum to go for one more wimpy sorta
run, but it is too too far extended for my tastes. I would expect the
leaders to be getting a bit week at this point. Broadlines seem a bit light
in the volume too. There seems to be a bit left in the Specialties and
Drugs however, volume still pretty brisk. Probably only good for one more
pop, then a rest. 

Toppy is a good word! 

On the other hand, the Apparels have only moved +35.2%, not all that much
for a domesticated group with great earnings and investor appeal. My group
chart for Apparels isn't violating the 2x200day, 1.5x50day and the OBV
trend is tracking nicely and holding up here. Could be a nice base forming!
It hasn't seen it's 50day MOV since January, (barely its 20 in late April)
so a brief visit would not be out of the question. Not ready for an entry
at this point though. 

Worth keeping an eye on! My other eye, I'll just rub alot!

I can't give you any legal advice on this, Tom.  Got a northern New
England insurance, medical/legal, tort issue, I'd be pleased to offer my
two cents, however.  ;)

But, personally, as an individual (cuz we all know lawyers don't deserve
individualized consideration, just group-wide jokes and derision), as a
speculator who uses a variety of sources to compile lists, your "On the
other hand" analysis seems correct to me.

It would really pain me, given my mean and sarcastic bent, to have to

We go from famine to feast with postings.  There was so much mail this
weekend that I would like to suggest the following.  If you would like
to acknowledge help or thank someone for posting something, send them
a personal e-mail to their own address.  If you would like to ask
someone to repost something, ask them personally.  

In the recent spirit of this group I am totally prepared to be trashed
for this humble suggestion.

Be that as it may.

Dan,

What I meant by mindles is that the steps I took, like yours
did not involve and mental effort (decision powers) at all
and that anyone can do it. even a novice like me.

it's the next step of evaluating the market indicators
to find buy and sell signals that I am learning now...

Believe me, I know how you feel, and your suggestion has been made
many times by many people, me among them.  One of the problems is that
when somebody says something nice or thanks somebody for something, if
no acknowledgement is made then the recipient of all this looks like
an insensitive clod.  But another problem is just plain laziness.  The
way the mailings are set up, if you don't "reply to" canslim, you've
got to go through all sorts of twists and turns (at least with Yahoo)
to get your reply to the individual rather than the group.  It's
easier to just hit "reply" and let people skip what they want to skip.

It would be nice if there were an alternative reply on the form so
that one could send the reply to either the author of the post or to
the entire group, but I suspect that would be pretty involved.

I'm sure Jeff would be thrilled to hear any suggestions on the matter.

From: Dave Cameron <dfcameron@ameritech.net>
Subject: [CANSLIM] Lots of Messages/Infighting

Wow!   I just logged in for the first time in 36 hours, and I have
162 messages - the vast majority of which are from the CANSLIM group.

I've just finished reading all but about the last 5 of these - but
I'm stopping to add to the collection to make a couple of comments.

1.  I agree with one poster who says that many of the e-mails 
    consisted of infighting between a few members, and were not
    really helpful to me.

2.  I try never to reply to the entire group when a comment does
    not really do much for the group (I don't always succeed) -
    but I can simply forward the message to the poster - and cut
    and paste accordingly.

    Db says this is difficult in Yahoo's e-mailer.  Seems strange,
    I just use Netscape Communicator - and it doesn't matter which
    e-mail service I have.   Its real easy to 'reply' from a group
    message to a single poster.

3.  I don't want to preach about e-mail overkill, especially when
    there were times (not recently) when I felt the need to post
    so there would be messages other than Tom's for people to read.
    HOWEVER:
        1.  Connie posting a symbol for a non-existent stock 
            was not a particularly bright move, but the sheer
            act of making such a mistake was embarrassment
            enough (I hope) without continually making reference
            to it.

        2.  I can't figure out WHAT Db and Tom are disagreeing
            over because I didn't take the time to read all THIRTY
            messages - but I can see where this would start to 
            fill up e-mail boxes.

            But, Db does seem to have a decent grasp on the market,
            stock selection rules, screening, etc.   I think it was
            out of line for him to criticize others for posting non-
            CANSLIM stocks when I've never seen him post a stock
            that I can remember.   Regardless, he provides great
            ways for people to find their own stocks.   This is a
            virtue in itself.
 
            Tom brings a lot of value in his impressions of the
            economic world, his stocks which generally fit CANSLIM,
            and his willingness to help out nearly anyone.   He 
            does tend to get a bit sensitive, but guys, at 50 years
            of age (51?) he ain't gonna change!   FWIW, I think his
            micro-caps (as long as they are $12/share+) are more
            CANSLIM than CSCO and DELL - because the latter are
            way above O'Neil's guidelines for S.

Oh well, I'm not really going to try to mediate.   I sorta did for
Tom & Jeffry - but I am getting tired of this.   I'm just lucky I
can store upwards of 900 messages.
