Sold for loss on 4/4. Sat back and watched the stock surge higher, now hitting new highs on volume. Kicking myself for following CANSLIM rules. I know WON says this will happen but nevertheless it is discouraging. It's happened many times to me already. Each time it makes me want to throw CANSLIM out the window. I'm trying to ignore my emotions and do a constructive post-mortem. Did I buy wrong? I don't think so -- it was a nice cup-handle breakout and I bought within 5% of the pivot. Did I bail too soon? Maybe. I know you're supposed to cut losses at 8% period. But in this case on 4/4 it dropped below 8% only intraday, then it surged to recover above the pivot. In reviewing past similar trades, intraday activity has often been the cause. Many times a stock will shake out intraday only to recover before the day is done. So I wonder, should the 8% sell rule be applied on closing prices only? In this case, if I waited until the end of trading on 4/4, I'd still be in DFXI and enjoying the ride. Or maybe, should you simply ignore the first hour or two of trading during the day? It seems to me in many cases, early trading is very volatile and it's probably best to just sit on the sidelines until after lunch. - -- Dave _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

well said, Katherine, as always
 
I am far more inclined to look at the chart of a = stock=20 posted by a member when they give their reasons for believing it is a = CANSLIM=20 candidate. I will generally disregard and delete a simple list of = stocks, since=20 it is unlikely that whatever screening method they used would fit my=20 parameters.

Chris,
 
I think you're misinterpreting the message here. Nobody is keeping = you from=20 posting your "picks" but I think others would benefit more from your = *analysis*=20 of your picks than a list of stocks you've purchased. To some, a list of = stocks=20 you have already purchased can simply be *interpreted* as braggadocio, = though=20 I'm not implying in any way that it was your *intent.* For those = who are=20 trying to learn, the analysis of a winner (or loser) is a helpful = addition to=20 the list. At the same time, absolutely nobody on the list should feel = obligated=20 to share their own picks or the results of their own hard work if they = do not=20 feel comfortable doing so.
 
As to the notion of being a "team," as you have suggested, I think = that's=20 going a bit too far. There are over 300 people on the list and only = about 25 or=20 30 active contributors. Most of those people have never met in person = and don't=20 know each other from Adam. The idea of a team implies common goals, = trust *and*=20 personal familiarity.

I don't see how these and other = interpretations I=20 haven't listed can truly be considered "common goals" in a team sense = and it=20 speaks nothing to the missing elements of trust and familiarity.
