I did try to answer your personal email, but it wouldn't go through. My father's family was from southern Ohio, but left there around 1900 or so. No relatives left there that I know of, tho I hear there is a small town called Worley in the vicinity. And I was not in your local CANSLIM group a decade ago, for sure. Only "Parsons" I know is Don, who was with me in the Coast Guard many years ago.

I have been a long time investor. For the past several years, I have been mostly an aggressive mutual fund investor using Fasttrack and FTools to pick funds. Since I have retired and have more time, I am focusing more on stocks. I found a manual on Telescan's Wall Street City website called "Intermediate Term Momentum Stock Trading Course" by Marder and Kuhn. This course is based on IDB's WON techniques. The authors are very active on TradingMarkets.com. I liked the manual and what it teaches which led me to find this forum. I am just starting out and trying to get a feel on how to screen stocks. Interesting to note, about 10 years ago I was involved with a CANSLIM group here in Columbus, Ohio. Unfortunately, at that time I did not have motivation to learn and apply the techniques. I currently have and use BigEasy, TC 2000 and Window on Wallstreet. - - - - ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Feb 2001 00:21:28 -0600 From: "Falk, Dave K."

My name's Bill Triffet. I'm 42, married with no kids (not that we haven't spent a small fortune in fertility labs). For work, I'm an NC programmer (Unigraphics) for a mid-sized machine shop here is Los Angeles. Been in Aerospace off and on my whole career. I started dabbling in stocks in 1997 after I rolled my old 401k into a rollover brokerage account. That year, I spent doing stupid (though small) speculative "bets" on individual stocks. Luckily, I had the sense to quit while I could and started doing some research. I looked briefly at several thick technical type books and just about gave up. My wife, who is much more direct than myself, brought home the now infamous "How To Make Money In Stocks". I laughed, what cheeseball would read a book so simply titled about such a "complex" thing as investing. Why, that would be like "How To Do Open Heart Surgery"! Well, once again she was right and I really liked the almost mechanical approach. It removed most of the emotional problems associated with trading. >From 97 to summer of 98 I tried several attempts and made a few good picks. Then came the fabulous Oct 98 tech stock explosion. WON had me out of stocks just prior to that so I felt good about the system. When the final bull started that month I jumped in and made 85% (VARL, SEBL, RFMD, ETEK)from then till Feb-March of last year. Once again WON got me out of those holdings and I have been mostly in cash since then. I realize now, that I may never seen such a climax run like that again - but it sure was nice. I do have a few small positions now PHCC, UNT, and IGT. I'm not comfortable with M so they represent < 20% of my portfolio. Looking at today's action though, PHCC looks suspect. I'm still waiting for the market to show a real direction. I do vow to start contributing some lists this year as those stocks were from several members lists here. Perhaps the new IBD ranking will help in that regard. - -Bill Triffet - - - - ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Feb 2001 01:42:47 -0500 From: "Tom Worley" Subject: Re: [CANSLIM] MNTG Hi Doug, Two things caught my eye in a quick review: the debt which you already noted as at 92%, and that this is not the kind of company (casinos, racetracks, golf courses) where I expect 30% or more growth, much less the amount of growth this stock has shown. Guess I would want to know why they are growing earnings so rapidly. One member already posted on how the handle appears to be forming too low compared to the cup, I would agree with that. However, low priced stocks can behave that way. I would be more concerned with the fact that the Russell 2000 chart looks a whole lot better than this chart. Based on its earnings growth, I would have expected the handle to form pretty high, at least close to the level of the left rim. The high debt may work in the company's favor with interest rates now falling, and likely to fall a little further.

I have a stock I'd like to get some feedback on. MNTG is in the Leisure-Gaming Group with a RS of 87. It's last four quarterly sales percentage numbers are all above 40% over the previous years quarters. And the last three earnings are above 80% over previous years quarters. The estimated annual earnings for 2001 over 2000 are 55% increase. The annual Growth rate is 60% and EPS is 99. The float is only 13.6 Mil. Mgmt owns 25% and funds 4%. ROE is 26%. Only neg. I can see might be Debt of 92%. I say might be because I don't know if that number is really just a function of the nature of the companies business. I'm thinking it is. It's a low priced stock so that might turn some people off. I know that WON recommends in his book to stick to stocks above 15. But the numbers look too good for me to ignore. The feedback I'd really like to hear about is concerning the chart of the stock. I worry I'm seeing only what I want to see...which is a cup with handle. But maybe that handle is too low. If I take the absolute peak of the cup at 9.03 and the absolute low of 4 the middle of the cup is about 6.5. The peak of the handle is 7.13. Which might be OK. Looking over the graphs in WON's first book it's apparant that not all handles have to start right at the peak of the left side. I believe his criteria is that the handle must be in the upper half of the cup and above the 200 day moving average. The volume of this handle has descended and stayed below the ADV throughout the past three weeks..which I understand is supposed to be a good thing. Although the stock hasn't sold off with the market it appears to be held back by it's indecisiveness. I must admit I've already given in and bought some of the stock at around 6 bucks. I did this believing we had a valid M followthru recently. And my experience has been that if I wait for the breakout by the time I get a chance to buy the stock it's already more than 5% beyond what I believe is the pivot point. I'd hate to see this stock break down but with the way the market is lately you never know. Hope I didn't go on too long about one issue. DougC.

But I am sure we have some members that can and will comment. On the discount presently available for DGO, you can subscribe for one of the two DG books on a once a month basis, then qualify for a deep discount for unlimited access to DGO. The total cost done this way (one book a month plus DGO) is only about $535 per year instead of over $700 for DGO alone. I am going to try and see if I can interest DGO in offering a "group discount rate" to our members. I will consider you as "interested" if I succeed.

(Any place else and I could retire with a pension.) I also have an equipment repair business, which I have been running for 10 years.

I have lurked in this group for a number of years, but have been reluctant to add anything since I do not really subscribe to the CANSLIM rules. I use puts and calls as well as equities. I consider this group as a great resource. I have been using TC2000 for a while but I am considering switching to DGO. I would appreciate any comments from anyone who has experience with both services. Someone recently posted something about subscribing to the paper version in order to receive a discount for the online version. I lost that post and would appreciate a repost if possible.

I own a small job shop in a niche of the printing industry: I screen print and die cut and convert paper type materials. My aspiring actor son works for me on a part time basis. And we watch and talk stocks and investing and I have the wonderful pleasure of getting to know him as an adult! I am 62, not close to retirement for the foreseeable future. My natural inclination, in investing, is Position and Swing trading, but once said, holding the commitment as long as some indicators are moving in that direction. I do not actively look for CANSLIM stocks outside this list. The ideas I find here, I screen through my indicators and then make a decision about committing. I do believe that CANSLIM principles are important in stock selection; I also strongly believe that internal technicals can give further insight into the direction that an issue may be inclined to move. I experienced an awful investment event, after some phenomenal success that I now believe was luck rather than skill, in January 2000 (lost a bunch): Deer in the headlight, hit and watched "it" bleed away. So I am paranoidly cautious, doing a lot of paper trading, taking small positions, and trying to make sell decisions based on intellectual processes, rather than those emotional ones that whisper in my head: "It won't go any lower" or "it just can't go down any more". I am becoming more and more convinced that selling is the toughest, most difficult investment decision one can make. My goal is to be right at the right time and this market is treacherous in which to do so.

Someone else already mentioned this, but I'll reiterate - Quotes Plus is worth checking out. You get a database of about 9000 stocks with an EPS and RS ranking, and you can write your own scans to turn up stocks, using criteria such as EPS, RS, ROE, Avg Volume, stocks making new highs, etc. Sort of as if you could run scans on an IBD database. - - ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Feb 2001 14:45:17 -0600 From: "walter nusbaum" Subject: Re: [CANSLIM] Technical Analysis - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Falk, Dave K."

Candlesticks may be used as a stand alone system, but it's recommended that Western TA be used along with it. One of the neat things about candles is that they can pick out a reversal in 1, 2, or 3 trading sessions, where the same reversal might take a week or two to become apparent on a standard OHLC chart. If you'd like a look at candles in action go to: www.bigeasy.com It's a free program, as is the data.

I did see the queston & reply. I'm sure that we would both be interested in hearing from others.

I got an audio tape from IBD about selling rules. It's very good. - -Bill Triffet - - ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Feb 2001 16:09:03 -0700 From: "Matthew Christopherson" Subject: [CANSLIM] Date: Sat, 17 Feb 2001 17:04:09 -0600 This is a multi-part message in MIME format. - ------=_NextPart_000_005B_01C09903.A4CFB040 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable remove - ------=_NextPart_000_005B_01C09903.A4CFB040 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Rea= ding some of the other people's introductions and all the wealth of experience= they bring, I feel very "green". I am only 26 years old and is a SAP Consultant, living in Dallas. Since I= am traveling allot for work, I probably should rather say I spend my weekend= s in Dallas. So far I haven't been able to contribute really much to the grou= p because of my learning curve, but hopefully this will change in the futur= e when I gain more experience. I am forever thankful to the members in the = group who always took time to answer my questions and I am learning so much fro= m this group. I cannot understand why so many people are leaving because o= f the digest version been cancelled. I never used the digest version and I am = also not using any filters. But this still take me only about 30 minutes on a= weekend to scan through the e-mails, save the interesting ones and delet= e the others. In my opinion, if someone don't want to spend even 30 minutes a = week learning something new for their investing goals, they should just stay w= ith mutual funds and forget about investing themselves. People like this is n= o loss to the group. After reading dozens of investing books over a period of about 2 years, t= rying to develop a trading strategy I am comfortable with, I stumbled upon HTMM= IS early last year and finally things started to fall in place. Middle of = 2000, I decided that this was time to start doing and stop reading. I am mostl= y still papertrading and took a few very small positions in some stocks ove= r the last couple of months. The market didn't really make it easy for someone= to start in investing, but on the other hand starting at a bad time like thi= s, I learned very quickly that everything is not just moonlight and roses, and= one of the important lessons I learned is that this is very important when to= sell and to preserve capital as much as possible. I am traveling allot for wo= rk and do not have much time during the weeks to monitor my investments, so = I based my decisions on a more longer term outlook and weekly charts instea= d of daily starts. I manage to end 2000 with a 2% loss, but consider this a small price for = the experience I got from doing real trading versus paper trading. This year = the only trade I made was in CCMP at the end of January. Hopefully this year= will be a better year. - - Fanus = ____________________________________________________________________ Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=3D= 1 - - ------------------------------ End of canslim-digest V2 #1141 ****************************** To unsubscribe to canslim-digest, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe canslim-digest" in the body of the message.
