Subject: Re: [CANSLIM] Dueling WON quotes

I think the key is that CANSLIM is more a philosophy than a pure
science. WON has also said that a stock that has had a good runup,
say 40 or 50%, will "normally" retreat up to half of that gain.
That is one of the reasons he wants to take profits even on a good
stock so that he can buy it back later considerably cheaper. I
agree that as you build up "paper" profits, you can afford to give
it a looser stop. Selecting the stop is typically more difficult as
there is no likely to be a decent support established, altho there
may be some very short term (1-2 week) bases established along the
way to show where there may be some logical support briefly.
When I was getting WON's picks at my last firm, I do not recall him
giving us these "trading sell to buy back after a runup correction"
signals on his long term plays. Don't know if this is because he
wasn't trading them, or didn't want to create a self fullfilling
prophecy.

Subject: [CANSLIM] Stargazer Crawford

Anybody take his newsletter? Giving credit where it is due he made a GREAT
call PRIOR to the market going down. On National TV he advertised he would
be going short the market 200% (on margin) on Feb 14th/18th. That was
exactly, 100% correct. I haven't heard that he covered. If he didn't he
should be fairly sick. Of course, he didn't really make all that much if
had sold at the exact bottom. About 20% is what I figure. Just curious as
to what the moon, and stars, and pluto and those five planets that he
talked about being in conjunction with one another are doing. Did they
collide, or kiss and make up, or what?
James
P.S. How about some of you with those more advanced scanning devices trying
something for me if you have the time. How many stocks were there under $12
and under 5$ last Monday Morning? How many now? How many of the stocks in
each of those categories are up ....... say 20%, 30%, 50% over the last 5
days? Would it not tell us something if we knew that say 25% of all stocks
under $5 last Monday are now up 25%. I think it would me. I would hope that
the percentage was not that high. It is WAY WAY over that percentage on my
base of stocks, but my base is stocks that have been big winners at one
time or another.

FWIW, I only have a first edition too... and I'm 16 years
younger than Tom ;-)   So.... I dunno 'bout it "showing
your age".   I've always tried to make my CANSLIM pix
intermidiate term holds (more than 2 mos - usually 12-18)
because I interpreted O'Neil that way.   His charts always
say "advanced 300% in the next 28 mos..." not "advanced 33%
in the next 3 weeks..."     BUT.... in the past 18 mos. or so,
the short-term proved to be the better way to play.   I'm
still not good at that psychologically.   I, like Tom, have
it more ingrained to hold on unless there is serious
weakness, although I see the revised quote changes that
and probably rightly so...

Your test was successful. Are you getting all the news?
Here is a joke to cheer you up:


IThe difference between MD's and PhD's

4 MDs and 4 PhDs are going to a meeting by train. The 4 MDs each
have their own ticket, but the 4 PhDs (who have little money, of
course) have 1 ticket among them.

The MDs ask the PhDs (in a caring manner), "How are you going to
manage with just one ticket between the ten of you? "Just watch,"
reply the PhDs.

They all get on the train and the 4 MDs take their seats and hand
their tickets to the conductor. But the PhDs all pile into a
bathroom, and when the conductor comes by, a single arm reaches out
and gives him the ticket.

The MDs, feeling enlightened, decide to try the same thing on the way
home, so they purchase just one ticket among ten of them. The PhDs
buy no ticket at all.

"How are you going to get home?" ask the MDs.

"Just watch." the PhDs reply.

When they get on the train, all the MDs pile into a bathroom. 3 of
PhDs get into another bathroom. The fourth Ph.D. then knocks on the
MDs' bathroom door and says "Ticket please."

TSK's earnings consensus for 1998 is +31%.  I take it you don't think that will materialise?

If you have a minute, could you look at EGR and give me your thoughts?  Disregarding the
the thinness, I really like the looks of the chart.  The last three quarters show big earnings
increases, yet sale were down or flat.  Would you disregard it because of the sales
numbers?  Earnings are projected to be up 89% in 1998.

Maybe I wasn't completely clear. Lack of liquidity or lack of sales
growth alone would not strike a stock from a watch list, but would
require more careful evaluation. In the case of both of these with
strongly increasing earnings with flat or only minor (5%) sales
growth, I would investigate what the co did to increase earnings so
much without also increasing sales. Next, I would want to satisfy
myself that something is happening which will result in improved
sales in future, without that then earnings eventually go flat on
year to year comparison. If I wasn't satisfied on this last point,
I would look at other stocks, there's too many out there with much
better characteristics I can rely on.

INTERVIEW-Earthgrains ( The Earthgrains Co ) aims for growth

By Patricia Commins

NAPLES, Fla., Feb 19 (Reuter) - Earthgrains Co, the baked goods concern spun off less than
a year ago by beer brewer
Anheuser-Busch Cos Inc , aims to expand geographically through acquisitions in a
consolidating industry.

"How fast we do it will depend on how those properties become available and what we have
to pay for them. But we are looking
for geographic expansion through acquisitions," Chairman Barry Beracha said in an interview

Earthgrains made a presentation at an analyst conference here.

Earthgrains serves about 35 percent of the U.S. population with a presence in the Southeast,
Midwest, Southwest and Far West.

The company, which was shed in March 1996, made a few acquisitions in late 1996 in
Mississippi, West Virginia and Texas.
Those deals helped expand Earthgrains' reach and took some excess capacity out of the
baking industry.

"The key for us is to use the industry consolidation as a way to improve our profitability and
improve shareholder value and not
just get bigger," Beracha said.

While geographic expansion through acquisitions will be the main driver of Earthgrains'
future growth, Beracha said the
company is also looking to increase revenues, including with new products.

The company, which is the third-largest producer of fresh baked goods with brands like
IronKids, recently launched fresh bagels
under its Earth Grains brand. It is also testing other products, all of which fall in the higher
end of the bread and baked goods
category.

Earthgrains sees a greater willingness for consumers to pay more for products that promise
better flavor or enhanced nutrition.
Beracha pointed to recent sales data that showed per capita bread consumption in pounds is
flat, but sales revenues are up.

Earthgrains, which also produces refrigerated dough in both the United States and Europe
and has a European bakery operation,
posted third quarter sales of $523 million. Adjusting for facilities and businesses that were
closed or sold, sales rose 3.9 percent.

On the profit side, Earthgrains posted a dramatic turnaround, with third quarter earnings of
$0.91 a share, compared with a
year-ago loss of $0.91 a share before extraordinary items.

"In our first year...we've exceeded most people's expectations," Beracha said. "The really
good news behind that is there's still a
long way to go."

Subject: Re: [CANSLIM]  DailyGraphs save to spreadsheet

I corresponded with DG about some of these issues. The primary one
with me is the firewall issue. I was able to register successfully but
cannot download the graphs. Their solution was to tell me to ask my
"administrator" to open up access to a port they use. I explained to
them that that would defeat the purpose of a firewall.

I find it amazing that someone would develop an internet application
without considering things like firewalls, proxies. Considering that
just about every corp. is behind a firewall (or will be), their
decision is strange. OTOH, I can understand the decision to only
support wintel platforms.

Oh yeah, how? I don't know what kind of firewall you are using, but
according to DG, they need to make a direct tcp connection to port
1033. Firewalls that I am familiar with do not allow applications to
make direct connections across the firewall.

O'Neil speaks, I try to pay attention.
Bannf has been mentioned in this forum already, at an Orlando conference
he hosted. I couldn't imagine O'Neil randomly selecting stocks. Quoting
Shakespere, I assumed that there was "method behind the madness" when he
named potential market winners in the next cycle.
I can't seem to get a quote or even buy BANNF. I have been trying to track
it, knowing it is the correct stock symbol. But for some reason I have
struck difficulties with my brokerage firm. Must contact them about this
matter.

I cannot.  Given the proliferation of web-based applications
that are platform-independent, I was astonished to learn that
DG Online had opted for the "download our software" approach.
I am now further dismayed to learn of the TCP port-specific
requirement.

Peter

Thanks for posting all the breakouts, that is useful.
I was curious, how do you monitor intraday breakouts? that is, what kind
of
Tools (software, equipment) do you use.
I can imagine requiring real time quotes but unless the stock has been
on
the watch list from previous research I would imagine that it is hard to
pinpoint them from a large number of stocks.
Will appreciate your response,

Thanks

Subject: [CANSLIM] Getting Daily Quotes -

Personally, I monitor two different ways. One is I use an Internet delayed
quote service connected with the particular broker house I use, which is
free, to at least hourly pull up ALL quotes (currently 150 stocks). I pull
the quotes up in order of change which gives me a quick view of best and
worst performing. Also, I pay attention to the volume colume. Second, and
more importantly I use the real time quote service they offer. I put into
the different portfolios the stocks actually owned and the stocks watching.
If it is a particularly good OR bad day I pull the quotes up A LOT. Get 150
quotes for each trade made. Account opened in January. Currently have a
bank of 10,000 quotes available even using it as extensively daily as I do.
That is the single most help in getting one BEFORE it makes all of its move
for the day. Bought into "The System Portfolio", at market, at the open all
of this weeks top five. As of 11am cst they are doing as follows: DS up
1/2, VC up 1 1/4, ASTSF up 2 1/8, TKR up 1 1/2 and RAYM up 1/2. Feels good
on days like this. Bought into James' Picks Portfolio this morning, at
market, VC up 1 1/4 and CPWR up 1 5/8. Hope you are getting in on some of
this action too. Here is a list of stocks in the biggest portfolio I manage
and how they are doing right now:  ALTR UP 1 5/8, ASTSF UP 1 5/8, BCF UP
1/8, CNC down 3/8 (bought this one off a tip even though I have owned it
before, think it is a good stock, think it will be ok BUT there I go
again!), CPB UP 1/4, gbe UP 3/8, mk UP 1/8, mson UP 3/16, rxr UP 1/4, usld
down 1/8, AND VC up1 1/4. Some of the tech's would be giving better and
bigger UP jumps right now but I don't sell winners when they are putting
money in the bank and moving up. A bird in the hand is worth TEN times as
much as those still in the bush.

Subject: Re: [CANSLIM] Test

Comments? You sure you want them? OK - Here goes, although I DO buy some
cheap stocks from time to time and try to grab a quick profit not a 100
bagger I have to have a LOT of things happen to buy it. MFN was a fiasco
and I was wrong on it. Can't be wrong on too many of the cheap ones or the
investment capital is gone. I always take a certain amount in each
portfolio and devote to SPECULATION. This stock would certainly fall there
as I too agree with Mr. O'Neal that a stock is usually $3 for a very good
reason. That is usually almost exactly what it is worth. Yes, this stock
has jumped up the last two days. The majority of stocks I've looked at
around this price have been jumping for the last five days. When a $2 stock
has volume of 69,000 and causes my green bars to be very tall it concerns
me. If 69,000 is a LOT of volume for a $2 stock - WHY? ONE fair to large
investor would buy more shares than that of it. He spread it out over a
couple of days? So, 140,000 volume on a $2 stock. That would be red flag
number one. Number two is that it has twice in the last six months
attempted to break through $2.75, failed both times, and then dropped
rapidly (percentage wise). So, I guess I'm not too thrilled. Of course, if
you bought it good luck and I hope it goes to TEN !! Somebody bought it!!

Seems like a fairly stupid decision to me.  Why not just write the program in Java?  You
only have to write it once to support multiple platforms.  Why would they want to limit
themselves?  I don't get it.

Have you tried the Corel Office for Java beta?  I don't know about Windows, but it runs
very nicely on my system, and it is still an early beta.

Subject: Re: [CANSLIM]  DailyGraphs save to spreadsheet

I have been able to do that since day 1 I started beta testing. My Excel is
part of the MS Office Pro 95 package. The version number of Excel is 7.0a.

You might also try the following:

(This is based on testing with some OLD files in my Dlygraph directory.)

In Excel (7.0a in my case) goto File/Open.

Select Files of Type: All types (*.*)

Go to your Dlygraph dir.

Look for *.rep files. These are actually text files that can be loaded into
Excel and I would guess other spreadsheets.

Select one of the *.rep files. (Or first get some *.rep files for the Daily
Graphs server.)

Open the selected *.rep file.

Excel detects a text file. It asks you how you want to import this file.

Just click on Finish.

Voila.

Hope this works for you.
