Wolynski" Subject: Re: [CANSLIM] IBD Groups ("A" list) Hello Talib, If I may be so bold to answer some of your inquiries regarding what Joe is posting. The CITN section is usually the last page in the first section of the IBD. From his post, Joe is supplying the list of stocks in the group that is listed in the CITN section. This is limited by IBD to the top 21-24 stocks that have the best EPS/RS combination. Joes list will, by IBD limitations, only have the top rated EPS/RS stocks in the group. For the others you must consult the Industry Group and Ticker Symbol Index as published and sold for $35 by IBD. Joe is obviously grouping some of the groups together in hopes for expediting either his stock browsing or the efficiencies of grouping a group such as Foreign or Domestic Auto Manufacturers. It could also be that he regards the Domestic and Foreign auto manufacturers in the same light. Whatever, it is a simple matter to separate the Domestics from the Foreigns if you must. I hope this helps.

There have been several messages to the effect that "I" is not such a big deal any more, and even O'Neil has relaxed his stance on "I". The purpose of this post is to give a different point of view. People use DELL, MSFT, CSCO, etc. as examples. Sure, these are great stocks, but I still don't consider them to be CANSLIM in its true form. The tapes one gets when subscribing to IBD include interviews with O'Neil and Ryan about when to buy and sell stocks. O'Neil indicates that you CAN make good money off big caps, but that it takes more patience. He goes on to say that he doesn't have that patience. His biggest winners have been those with less than 30 million shares outstanding. It seems that many people on this list don't have that patience either. Having said that, at some point in time, DELL had less than 30 million shares outstanding. If you'd bought it then, and not sold, you'd have outperformed basically every mutual fund manager on the face of the earth. In fact, 4 years ago, Institutional Ownership for Dell was 10% at best. I have a friend who worked there - and left in part because Dell stock was getting hammered. Now... mutual funds are falling over themselves to buy in. Guys, there just ain't that many more left to buy it - unless Michael Dell cashes in. O'Neil repeatedly says that it is the large institutions that move the stock up. For DELL, they've been doing it. In fact, a GREAT time to buy was with the funds first started getting interested. Now, who knows, but it seems the chances are less since they're already in. CSCO fits a similar bill. MSFT does not - but, hey, can't have this work for every stock. Anyway, the examples O'Neil and Ryan give of their biggest successes were small cap stocks with very little institutional sponsorship. If you think you can do better buying the big caps, go ahead, but it really is not consistent with the track records of O'Neil & Ryan. Me? My best wins have also come from small caps. So, I'm biased. But, as Ryan says, a newer stock that hasn't split yet, has plenty of room to grow. One that has split 6 or 7 times may be coming to the end of its growth rate. In other words, you have better odds with the small stocks. I need all the help I can get. Dave Cameron - - ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 20 Jul 1998 22:32:02 -0700 (PDT) From: dbphoenix Subject: Re: [CANSLIM] Institutional Investor % <> I understand what you're saying, Dave, but DELL is not a good example. Patience in this case has meant two weeks. <> I agree, which is why I submitted my post regarding legs. The NDX stocks as a group are due for a correction, perhaps a severe one. They are most certainly over-extended now. Will they be attractive afterward? What CANSLIM doesn't address is the unprecedented flow of cash into mutual funds. Because fund managers have so much cash to put to work, they must put it into large-cap companies. If they tried to put it into small-cap companies to the same degree, they'd wind up buying the company. This is not to say that there aren't spectacular successes among small-caps. But to ignore the performance of large-caps is to short-change one's portfolio. Once this bubble makes its way through the system, this degree of cashflow may subside and never occur again. In the meantime, we must look at the way things are, not at what we'd like them to be. If O'N can't make up his mind between 5 million or 30 million or 100 million, then how can we? IMO, his best advice is to look at the charts, find the leaders, and buy them. - --Db _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

I have had very little success in them. For example, I traded 6 of them last year with 4 winners, and my best up was 35%, while an index of small banks was up 68% for the year. Granted, 35% beats a poke in the eye with a sharp stick, but it was enough to convince me that I cannot position trade these. Perhaps it's just my faulty selection, but it seems that professional holders tend to fade breakouts in these. Spreads that sometimes reach $2 are another factor. Also, it isn't strictly necessary, but I prefer that something trade an ADV of 50K+.

Simply a matter of limiting risk, nothing else. Kept my short term trading half, saw no reason to sell it. Why? Bought an inordinate amount of PSQL (40% of available capital). Half @ 25: the day-trading part. The other half @ 25 3/8: the short term trading part. Did not want to risk the day-trading part any longer as the MMs on this stock seem to be of the kind I'd rather not deal with. (Same types as TMBS, GICOF and USWB.) I analysed the T&S list during the weekend. Seemed to me that they took PSQL down on approx 130K shares. So percentage wise they took it down on light volume. PSQL showed strenght pretty soon in the day during Monday, so that made me keep the short term trading part (CANSLIM part). Side note: The daytrading part is were I do not look only look at the woods and the trees, but also examing the branches, the leaves and if necessary the the ribonucleotide sequence of the t-RNA in the mitochondrions.

As I stated, and others have clarified, these lists are compiled from IBD's Companies In the News (CITN, actually the Industry Group Focus). Depending on how many stocks IBD puts in a group, all the stocks in the group may be listed (if there are few stocks), or the top 20 or so may be listed in order of their EPS and RS rank. Even so, sometimes the EPS/RS rank drops to the point I don't want to follow the stock (usually < 20 or so), so I dropped them from the list. Apparently IBD has combined some groups to report in CITN, so, if that bothers you, it's a simple matter to fix. Consult the Industry Group and Ticker Symbol book. If you want a complete listing of every stock in every group, consult the Industry Group and Ticker Symbol book. If you have a beef with whether a particular stock belongs in a particular group, take it up with IBD. I'm just the messager. Personally, I want to investigate the strongest stocks in a group and not waste time with the others. I should also state that some of these lists may be rather out of date since some have not been updated in CITN for some time. Even so, they are a very good starting point. I entered all the symbols by hand, and as careful as I tried to be, there may be typos. As always, you get what you pay for, buyer beware, do your own research, etc. etc. etc. For my "top down" method of stock selection, I use the Investor's Reference Library (IRL) program to build indices for each group. Then I can use IRL, Metastock, QP2 or whatever to analyze and rank the performance of each group and, then, the stocks within the group. How to build the groups is a topic in itself, but you will probably want to filter the stocks (by price, volume, busted chart, or whatever your personal criteria are) within the group before building the indices. The lists I'm providing are, except as noted above, not filtered. All the lists are ASCII text files with a *.lst extension. If the *.lst extension bothers you, change it to *.txt or whatever you need. I use Quotes Plus 2 for end of day data and rough scans and QP2 uses *.lst extensions. IRL prefers file names that are less than 12 characters (plus extension), so I've had to be rather cryptic with the file names. If it's not clear what group a particular file represents, let me know and I'll give the complete group name. Keeping all IBD groups up-to-date (and even the 117 I'm providing) is a difficult and time consuming task. Ian Woodward suggests concentrating on the groups he has identified as the High Growth Stock (HGS) groups to avoid "analysis paralysis" and still catch the leading stocks in the leading groups. Given a limited amount of time to dedicate to finding and researching good stock candidates, that's probably a good idea. As db stated some time back, Metal Products - Fasteners isn't all that interesting, although I think it's one I'm providing :-). Now, on with the show. I'm going to break the e-mail messages into groups of around 10 or so lists, starting with the "A" groups again (for the sake of completeness).
