HI=20 Chaz,

As=20 the tool author, I'll try to explain whats going on. I just ran it and = got a=20 divide by zero error. That means some data was missing and my = code=20 didn't trap it. In fact, yahoo.marketguide.com (Highlights report) = shows the=20 EPS growth rates as "NM" or not measured, so the data wasn't available = to do=20 the evaluation and EPS growth was reported as = - -100%.

Normally, if data was not available, I report it in the = evaluator as=20 "NA". Clearly, I need to some more work to trap that situation in all = possible=20 cases.

However, because the source of data for the evaluator is = different from=20 IBD's, there is always the possibility of inconsistent results. At the = bottom=20 of the evaluator is a link to the datasource wher you can always = compare the=20 data used in the evaluator to that available from = IBD.

I am=20 trying to understand the CANSLIM Evaluations tool.

I pulled = an=20 evaluation on EXPE and compared it to the Daily Graph Chart and = immediately=20 became confused.

CURRENT EARNINGS: EPS growth, according to = the=20 evaluator should be "at least 25% in the most recent quarter." The = value is=20 shown as -100% and the score is 0. However, EXPE reported March 31st = earnings of .46 versus .08 for the same quarter a year ago (up 475%) = and an=20 increase from .31 to .46 (48%) March over December 2001. =

Latest=20 three quarters of sales growth should be a minimum of 25%. The = Evaluator=20 shows 22%, and therefore no score. However, sales for September = quarter were=20 $79.5 Million, December quarter were 81.8 Million and March quarter = were=20 $116 Million, for a total of $277.3 Million. During the same three = quarters=20 last year, the total sales were $143.7 Million, for an increase of = $133.6=20 Million or 92.9%.

What am I doing wrong? =
