Subject: [CANSLIM] Sending large files to the canslim group
Everyone,
There are times when you may wish to share large files with our group (i.e. gif, jpeg, spreadsheets, etc). Our list is configured to reject large postings (even if they are properly encoded) since the sheer volume has caused problems in the past. As an alternative, we have provided an anonymous ftp site. To provide your file to the group, please follow these instructions:
If you need some help doing this step, there are ftp instructions below.
2. Send mail to me directly at "owner-canslim@xmission.com" telling me the name of the file that you uploaded. I will move the file from the incoming directory, to the canslim directory where people will be able to download your file.
3. After I notify you that the file has been moved to the canslim directory, you should send an email to the canslim group describing your file, and its URL (i.e. ftp://ftp.xmission.com/pub/users/m/mcjathan/GreatBoom.gif).
Although this may seem unwieldy at first, it really isn't too bad and it solves more problems than it creates.
You should note that I do not monitor my email on the weekends as closely as during the week. Therefore, steps 2-3 may take longer over a weekend.
2. On the Netscape "File" menu, select "Upload File..." This will open a file selection widget on your hard-drive. Select the file you wish to upload and hit the "Ok" button. At this point, your file will be uploaded.
3. Eventhough your file has been uploaded, you will not be able to see the file in your netscape browser. The reason for this is that the "incoming" directory is set to write-only for security reasons.

That is certainly the case. When the price of oil plummeted the airline
stocks surged. You can see almost a daily opposition in those in fact.

Well, for those of you that look forward to my weekly post
on this topic, you get it some hours early thanks to a
closed US stock mkt, and a boss who announced that the
entire section could leave at 2:30PM today so long as I left
with them. It was either be lynched; or pack up, put away,
and lock down. So this is what a six hour work day is like!
Still, felt strange to drive home in the daylight. Didn't
even put in a 60 hour work week this time, shucks.
Anyway, on to business. Despite only four trading days, this
list jumped sharply from the prior week to up over 40% in
total to 206 stocks, and the ones meeting the basic 80/80
test even more strongly up 70% to 75. Suggests to me that
there could be a lot of other "sleepers" lying just below
their 12 month highs, perhaps with a constructive base, and
with strong CS elements. Those of you using the much
discussed computer software scanning packages could maybe
augment this list with some of your own?
Despite a lot of reasons why this mkt should correct,
including lack of breadth, volume, quality of leadership,
earnings erosion, etc, the economic reports and strong
dollar continue to support a move to the upside. Much as I
hate to admit it, forget the small caps for now, they may
still have their "day in the sunshine", but it's still not
happening, may as well wait till the thunderstorms are over.
The name of the game remains big cap, liquidity, momentum,
etc. However, pay attention to VIX, it's been trying it's
best to get under 20, and has shown some nice moves downward
even on days the mkt has been up.
Anyhoo, for those readers patient to get this far, here's
the list of 75 survivors (and you'll notice a number of big
