Hi Katherine,
As always, thank you very much for your commentary.
One thing I have heard very much is that you should have a profit taking
plan in place *before* you buy a stock. In this case, my plan was to sell
if it reached 20% profit, so I am going to stick with this plan.

Hi Roger,
APPX is another one of those cases where you have a better
perspective on the action since the breakout by using a weekly chart:
http://www.cwhcharts.com/katherine/APPXWkly052303.JPG
It's hard not to have a situation where price declines a bit
since the breakout, because that day, the volume was 150%+ of average.
Subsequent days can still be on respectable volume, but viewed in contrast
to the big breakout day, might give the impression of wedging action. In
that case, you want to ask whether the action, in general, is doing what
you'd expect. Are up days on high volume and down days on low volume? Is
there a significant decrease in volume on up days in comparison to the
beginning of the run or is it still respectibly high? Is the price churning
(very little upward price movement on high volume)? Etc.
http://www.cwhcharts.com/katherine/APPX052303.JPG
That doesn't mean APPX won't flash warning signs in the near
future, but right now it looks pretty healthy. That also shouldn't affect
your profit taking plan in any way. If you've chosen to follow the
20%-take-it-and-run rule, then you should absolutely stick to your plan.
Katherine

Thanks again Katherine.
In the case of APPX, I stock which I purchased at
26.99$ as it broke out on 05-14, and which I still hold, I have been looking
for any signs of whether I should get out. although the rsrank is great and
the rsline is making new all-time highs, it has definitely been wedging
since the breakout. Do you consider the rsline action outweighs the wedge
or not? Please feel free not to answer this question given my vested
interest in APPX.
Note that, given I am very new at this, I will, much
more than likely, invoke the take-your-20%-profit-and-run rule with this
one.

Hi Roger,
Contrary to what might seem to be the case,
a strong stock will most often see the RSLine stay flat or (preferrably)
rise even as price is falling. That occurs because, despite the pullback,
the price action *relative to the market as a whole* is still showing
superiority. For example, if the price of stock A is falling at a *slower
rate* than the market is falling, the RSLine will rise. That's why you can
have a stock's RSLine rise even as the price is falling on the left side of
the cup and why it's possible for the RSLine to make new highs, even as the
stock's price is drifting down within the handle (which is ideally what you
would like to see). However, I wouldn't get overly concerned about a minor
pullback in the RSLine during the handle as long as the overall upward trend
of the RSLine remains intact. That can happen when the market as a whole is
very strong.
What you really want to keep your eye on is
a very marked negative divergence in the direction of the RSLine relative to
the price action in the stock. This will happen in ill formed bases and in
stocks that are currently rising after a previous breakout. If the price
continues to rise while the RSLine heads markedly South, that's a warning
sign the move is running out of gas. This is the same reasoning you would
use when looking for the "wedging" action discussed here on the list
previously. That is, if price is rising on ever decreasing volume, that
divergence shows a lack of conviction in the move and raises the likelihood
that the stock will correct. That's why you ideally want to see volume
*rise* on the right side of the cup.
Katherine

Thanks Katherine.
As for the down-sloping ud volume in the
handle, I guess that's to be expected in a proper handle given that the
price should be falling. would the same be true for the rsline and rsrank?
Assuming the handle is forming due to a general market downturn, you might
expect the rsline and rank to (at least) be flat for a true leader. Does
that make sense?

Hi Roger,
I think with a stock like ADVP, particularly
where the base is lengthy, it's easiest to put the volume action in
perspective when looking at the weekly chart. I don't think there's anything
worrisome about an decreasing ADV line as it's simply summarizing action
over the last 50 days and so will vary a bit, particularly if there were
some very high volume days early in the 50 day period that then drop off the
calculation as time marches on. That would be particularly true when much of
the base falls outside that 50 day period. In this case, ADVP's base is more
than a year. If there were high volume on the left side or near the bottom
of the base as the stock pushed down and then made a high volume reversal at
the bottom, then eventually, those volume bars fall outside the 50 days and
action on the right side of the base takes over in the ADV calculation.
So, all in all, I'd put ADVP's base into
perspective by looking at the weekly action:
http://www.cwhcharts.com/katherine/ADVPWkly052303.JPG
and a close up of the action on the right
side of the base and handle:

Hi all,
I am looking at ADVP. I do not own it at
this time. It seems to have pretty good fundies. As for the chart, the
handle looks good, going down along the lows and volume drying up. The
rsline is making new highs at the pp. the rsrank and ud volume are good.
Finally, the weekly chart also looks good, except it seems to have a
downtrend in the ud volume.
The one thing I'm not sure about is the lack
of volume in rhs of the cup. In fact, the 50 day ADV actually goes down
during the rhs of the cup, except for one spike near the pp. Is this a big
concern? Thanks.

How does making 40% returns become more difficult as the size of your

Per your last sentence of this E-mail, how would you handle a stock that

One or the other (volume or RSL) must be given the the deciding weight.

Subject: Re: [CANSLIM] Options
I've been wondering about the same thing. In most stocks with a sound CwH,
they'll often go up $5 or so within only a few days of breakout (in my
limited experience). In many cases trading options (not to limit losses,
but to speculate) would produce a 50-100% return with only a $5 increase in
the stock price. That seems very tempting to me, until I remember that if
the breakout fails and the stock falls below your strike price, you're
instantly out nearly 100%. Risk and return, but it sure sounds tempting.
Has anyone tried doing this with CANSLIM stocks breaking out of CwH bases?
IMO, using stops at 8% would prevent you from really needing to use options
to protect yourself, and they cut into your profits if you're right. Of
course, I've never even used an option yet, so take that for what it's
worth.

This is an Extended Internal Rate of Return calculation or a
Compound Annual Growth Rate calculation. XIRR includes cash flow
calculations, CAGR does not.
To achieve the $2M goal, starting with $10K at age 29 and adding
$10K each and every year thru age 40, requires an average annual
return of about 46% for an XIRR of 40.81%
Check the math add-ins pack for your spreadsheet to see the
calculations for XIRR(). It needs several inputs, including an
initial guess as to the magnitude of the result, the range of
dates, and the cash flows of the investment.

Subject: RE: [CANSLIM] ADVP
Hi jans,
Darn...such a tough question for a holiday weekend! :))
First, I'd say that it's rare that these are the only 2 factors I would use
in making a decision as to whether or not to pursue a stock. Even from a
technical perspective, there are more risk-factor clues to consider, such as
the tightness of the ranges on the right side of the base, the quality of
the handle, the number of up weeks on above average volume vs down weeks on
above average volume within the base, the technical condition of this stock
relative to other stocks within the industry, the technical condition of the
industry as a whole, etc. And none of those factors consider the fundamental
condition of the stock or the underlying characteristics of the business
such as competitive advantage, potential business or accounting red flags,
etc.
That said, however, if I were looking at 2 stocks with *all else being
equal*, then I'd always choose the one that is technically most sound. That
means I would choose the one with *both* rising volume on the right side of
the cup *and* a rising RSLine (particuarly if the RSLine is rising to new
highs ahead of the price) over the one with rising volume and a declining
RSLine.
Here's the logic behind the assessment of the first stock being "better":
If the price is rising on the right side of the cup (whether volume is
rising or not) and the RSLine is *falling*, that means this stock is rising
in price at a rate slower than the market as a whole is rising. Translation:
it's lagging the market. Eventually this stock will fall back in RSRank,
because other stocks that are rising faster than the market will show
outperformance relative to this stock and therefore have higher RSRanks. In
short, it means this stock is a laggard, i.e., money is not flowing into it
as quickly as it is flowing into other stocks. I'd much rather pursue a
leading stock, as strong outperformance against both the market as a whole
(RSLine) and relative to all other stocks (RSRank) tends to lead to outsized
gains.
I think the real problem is that without a system that gives one a very
thorough view of all stocks currently setting up in bases and nearing a
breakout, it's easy to "settle" for a flawed stock like this because one
doesn't have an quick and easy way to view all the other (potentially
better) stocks that are also setting up at the same time. It's like choosing
something behind door number one when nobody has let on there is another
door available with more choices to consider.
