I did clearly note your phrase "and my research". However, your use of the phrase "with your (Tom's) recommendation" not only places my licenses in serious jeopardy but has directly contributed to my severely reducing what I post here. And apparently you are not the only member here who has been somehow interpreting my info as a "recommendation". Some members clearly understand that whatever I post, unless I state it as a fact, is strictly one man's humble opinion. Few investors truly realize just how regulated I am, nor that I must cooperate with the regulators for up to four years AFTER I leave the industry. I know of no other industry outside the intelligence community and some limited parts of the law enforcement community that maintain such tight reins on its members. Virtually every aspect of my private life must be disclosed to my employer and the regulators, including moving, taking a part time job, my internet activities, bankruptcy, etc. My disclosures of what I have bot or sold, or am watching, are simply my sharing of what I am doing. Strictly speaking, they are not required even if some of you were, or could become, my clients. However, when I was an active broker, I did the same disclosure with my clients. I see no reason until now to do any less here. My opinion is worth nothing more than what you have paid for it. When I mention a stock I like, I expect members to do no more than I do when someone else mentions a stock, that is, go look at it. If you like it for you, then do your research and act accordingly. BUT I DO NOT RECOMMEND ANY STOCKS NOR WHETHER YOU SHOULD BUY OR SELL ANYTHING. No matter how much I may value and respect any one member's opinions or CANSLIM type stock picking skills, it will have zero bearing on any action I may take on a stock mentioned. In fact, I don't even try to keep track of who first mentioned it. That's one "noise" that I do very effectively screen out. Any statements or opinions are strictly my own and not that of my employer. My comments should not be interpreted as a recommendation of any kind. I am a licensed (inactive) broker and an active investor. All investors should do their own research prior to any investment, especially one learned about on the Internet. Hopefully my comments will better inform and educate all investors. tom w - -----Original Message----- From: Ari Lawson To: canslim@lists.xmission.com Cc: MDLK@smtp1.erols.com Date: Monday, March 30, 1998 11:50 PM Subject: Re: [CANSLIM] Recommendation - was MDLK >I really don't want to beat a dead horse to death,however i don't think >that my "MEMO",to Tom,was read in detail.What i wrote was "with your >recomendation and MY RESEARCH!!!,I took the initiative,OF MY OWN, and >then purchased 100 shares of MDLK at 16.875 > > >- > - - ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 31 Mar 1998 06:29:39 -0500 From: Jeffry White <"postwhit@sover.net"@sover.net> Subject: [CANSLIM] Shorts Tim wrote: > Date: Mon, 30 Mar 1998 18:52:50 -0700 > From: Tim Fisher > Subject: Re: [CANSLIM] RXSD Short > > Dunno what "system" you are talking about, but it sure isn't CANSLIM.

That's what I though CANSLIM was all about. I'm sure you'll let me > know if I'm wrong in my interpretation of HTMMIS... > You missed my point, Tim. We were discussing the market, leadership failure, and industry group movement and shorting (in a quasi-HTMMIS way, see Index of HTMMIS on "Selling Short"). I was commenting to Frank that the Pitbull Short System appears to kick out short candidates which help illuminate leadership failure. One of the candidates was RXSD. You responded that one of us was going to be right, because you were long, the system was short. My point was: There is no "right" if you have the emotional make up to follow a rigid trading system (which CANSLIM is not, IMHO). Systems are always right, people are usually wrong, I think. RXSD as a short under the "system" is not "wrong", but "churn", "buy-on-a-pullback" could very well be. That was my point. And, BTW, I don't view RXSD as a super strong CANSLIM stock (Acc/Dist rank is "D"). Currently, it looks like a "base failure", to me. Will it "shake out plus three points" reverse (page 168)? Maybe. The volume was certainly impressive. But I know of no "buy-on-a-pullback" when a stock is crashing through significant support in the CANSLIM world. If I've missed it, please point it out. Finally, I only short with in the money Puts, 3-6 months out. So, your reference to a 10% move against any of my shorts is misguided. Puts on the super volatile high fliers does not track the underlying stock. So, with my long of NBTY, about even for the day. Regards.

I bot INFS the day before its crash.

I hope to get good at this in 5-10 eyars so I can be a shark for the next 20, and retire with more $$ than I know what to do with! If I thought that CANSLIM was a a lark than I would be investing using some other philosophy, however it certainly has proven itself to me through my own experiences. However I'm not about to discount other schools of thought which appeal to me. One of those happens to be buying stocks which the houses are attepting to churn for no good reason. So far it has worked wonderfully and combined with CANSLIM it seems to be a better than 50-50 chance of making 20% quickly. I can't say that for C&H breakouts which IMHO have about a 40% chance of succeeding. LLUR breakouts seem to run about 50-50 for me. One of these days I hope to be right at least 75% of the time using some combination of methods. Hmm, maybe then I can change my address to "stkguru2"...

That occured last Tuesday and the stock traded between 15 1/2 and 16 for the next four days. During that retest time the stock traded well, so a postion could have been established even if Tuesday's BO was missed. MTIC is now trading at 17, which is a bit extended for new positions, IMO. << What do you consider the point at which MTIC price/volume action is telling us it has broken out and is starting up to a higher base ? >> The first sign was in the begining of March when MTIC emerged from a 5-month consolidation period by breaking its downtrend line on heavy volume. I was watching the stock at this point but didn't buy it because the trading looked sloppy to me. After it broke the DTL on 3-5 you can see that it moved higher on heavy volume but was only able to close near the high of the day one time. This discouraged me but a week later I looked at the chart and it showed a sideways consolidation. I was pleased to see this as I thought this slow period would force out the weaker hands that where selling in the previous rally. As the 2 week consolidation went on you can see the volume contracted, possible pointing to seller exhaustion. This put me firmly in the bull camp and I was ready and waiting for the breakout.

Chart looks good, although maybe it should pause up there around the old high level, 18 or so, form a handle like thing. One possible negative is that earnings for 1999 are revised downward, also year ends in March, so they are essentially beginning their 1999 earnings season now. Also, don't know too much about what they do, but the DG said storage devices, which is very competetive, cut throat, low margins, short product cycles, etc. - that is, the fortunes of those companies can change quickly, and if you look at the past earnings for MTIC, they have been pretty variable. However, to steal a line from Frank, I'm wrong a lot of the time, don't know anything, I might be a good contrary indicator, so if you are convinced the stuff I said is not a problem, go ahead and buy on a breakout. > What do members consider the point of a definite breakout > for MTIC. My 3 last purchases which were KELL, USNA and TMBS > have all failed to materialize and I have bee forced out with 5 -8% > losses so apparently my reading on the exact purchase point I am also watching KELL, did not buy recent price spike. Looking at the chart to see what held me back, I think it was still in an overall basing pattern, spiked up out of what you could argue was the bottom of a cup, down around 22. So when it made a new high, which I guess could be seen as a buy point, it had climbed straight up from 22 to 27 1/2. I think the next breakout above 27 would be a real breakout. - - ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 31 Mar 1998 12:58:09 -0500 From: Craig Griffin Subject: [CANSLIM] 60 day WMA?

BTW the first time I bot RXSD was last May when the 50d EMA was solidly downtrending. It broke out hot and heavy early in the month and the EMA followed the breakout up. I made 2.5X my money on that buy, of course it wasn't a CANSLIM buy at the time, having come off a descending base, but that was before I had even bought HTMMIS.

(was RXSD) Actually I was referring more to the length of the average rather than the weighting method. There are lots of ways to make money trading stocks. Now the RXSD's MA is rolling over after climbing for the past ten months. That raises a red flag for me. I'm not saying the average won't turn around and start climbing again. I just prefer to buy stocks that are in confirmed up trends, rather than ones where the up trend may be coming to a close.
