As noted in the IBD's Big Picture, the SP500 just bounced off it's 200

in a bear market. Just paraphrasing what I read...

Today had that feeling of pretty strong and explosive. However, watching
the action throughout the day, I observed that most of the gains were
early in the day, and although the gains were not lost, the rally did
not seem to build much during the day.=20
"Never had that big washout day." By this, you mean, we didn't have a
take 'em out and shoot 'em kind of plummet? You are saying that no
correction is complete without one?
I don't think today's action quite constitutes a followthrough day,
right? It was a little too soon off the low, if I'm not mistaken.

Subject: [CANSLIM] Market turn or not?
My simple observation from 10 months in the market is that the best stocks
in terms of performance take off before the rest of the market eg qcom broke
out from a sort of cup and handle whilst the market had not decided what it
was doing. I would think the best thing is to take initial positions in the
best quality stocks that are likely to have the best earnings now and hold
strict money management rules. Eg INTC did break out but was held back by
the general market if you like almost forming a base on a base. - I suspect
this will do very well if the market finds its feet (up!).
Best,
Marc

Subject: [CANSLIM] IBD Word on Friday, it was and it wasn't!!
Basically, IBD didn't make a call today. It says Friday could be
considered a follow-through if you consider the upturn late Tuesday as the
start of the rally. If you consider Wed the start, then Friday was too
early for a follow-through. Nice to have it both ways!! Boy I'm glab they
straightened that out for me!!! Now what??
They also indicated some concern about the volume. It seems to me
yesterday doesn't look like a strong follow-through even if you started on
Tuesday since there was only a small volume increase on the NASDAQ. WON
said in the on-line series "One of these attempted rallies will finally
"follow through" showing real power, indicated by one or more of the
indexes (DOW, S&P, NAS) closing up 1% or more, with a significant jump in
volume from the day before. DOW volume was down while NASDAQ was up, but
only 2%. I guess I don't consider 2% a significant increase.
Still....maybe one purchase now might make sense. Not sure. I have 2 days
to be convinced otherwise by you guys. What do you think??

Earl,
If you follow the logic in the economic analysis of Friday's analysis in IBD
online, you would believe there was an overreaction to the PPI data and that
there is more inflationary pressure than people realise. That's not so good
for us, of course. Bearing in mind the typical seasonal weakness and that
many money managers, investment advisors etc are on holiday - I think that a
lot of the professional money is not available to push forward. From my
quick look, there was not much volume in the potentially great stocks that
there should have been and I think one has to be cautious about Friday's
rally. I will still take a look through more stocks, but will be more
demanding and careful.
It would be great to hear what's on your's and others' watch lists!
Best,
Marc

Some investors are bidding up the big banks and financials.
The Internets received heavy buying, on volume all three days.
They were heavily oversold and at first blush the action can be explained
easily by short covering. Which is probably highly accurate with the
likes of EBAY, AMZN, AOL and YHOO.
Wednesday has only one internet group in the list, but the new
issues is where the action has been, which are not evenly represented
in the IBD tables and groups. It appears while all the traders were
looking at YHOO and AOL for signs of a rally, the younger pups took
off scampering right out from under the old dogs!
New Issues: Advances/Declines
Wednesday: 234/ 84
Thursday: 202/117
Friday: 254/ 80
If you insist on profits and reasonable valuation models, then
perhaps some of the other technology groups may be more
attractive to you. Also be aware that the groups tend to dance around
a bit. That is, Wed-Fri leaders may be the laggards next week.
I, however am sticking to trading in a shorter time frame and waiting
for more proof that the rally has materialized before committing to
anything longer than a day or two.
I can't help but feel there are a ton of 'hold and molders' waiting to
break even and get out at their entry price.
Regards,
Frank Wolynski
P.S. I can't help but feel that the oils and biotechs aren't finished,
however that is just a casual comment, as I have not reviewed any of the
stock/group charts yet.

Subject: [CANSLIM] NASDAQ volume on Thursday
Quotes Plus and Yahoo show Nasdaq volume on Thursday 08/12 as
959,442. Investors Business Daily has it at 916,770. Anyone know which is
correct?

Subject: [CANSLIM] IBD's Take on Friday's Market
IBD has different volume for the NASDAQ than Yahoo and QP for Thursday (see
my other post). This has some impact on the read of Friday as a potential
followthrough day. By IBD's count, Friday was a higher volume day than
Thursday. Not so by QP's count. Either way, the volume was very similar
on both days.
Here is a quote from Friday's IBD "General Market" page:
"The market let out a big sigh of relief Friday as producer prices rose
less than expected. The benign inflations report left investors almost
giddy as they snampped up battered stocks, especially Internets and
financials.
...
"But trading activity didn't match the enthusiasm conveyed by the market
averages' big percentage gains. Big Board volume declined 7% to 691
million shares, which is just below average. Trading on the Nasdaq
increased less than 2% to 934 million, also about average.
"So did the Nasdaq's 3.5% gain on higher volume represent a follow-through
confirmation of the market's recent rally? It depends on where you think
the rally begain, which is open to debate.
"Ideally you want to see more than a 1% advance on heavy volume on either
the fourth, fifth, sixth, or seventh day of a rally. Follow-throughs 10
days or more into an upturn usually signal a weak rally that's prone to stall.
"The market bounced off its lows Tuesday, but still closed for a loss. If
you take that reversal to be the beginning of the attempted rally, then
Friday is a follow-through. But Friday's session is premature if you
consider Wednesday's advance to be the first rally day. Under that
scenario, Monday would be the first opportunity for the market to confirm
that the correction is over.
"Of course, even confirmed rallies can fail. They shouldn't be an excuse
to buy with abandon. It's a good idea to limit any new purchases to
companies with superior earnings as they emerge from well-formed bases. If
you maintain your buying standards, any debate over the finer points of
follow-through days will be irrelevant.
"The market still has a couple of bumps to to get over in the coming weeks ...
...
"Amgen, the biggest of the biotechs gapped out of a four-month base. But
volume was only average, which raises doubts about the quality of the
breakout. You prefer to see overwhelming volume when a stock emerges from
a price consolidation."
Quoted from Investor's Business Daily - Monday, August 16, 1999
Hope they don't mind this bit of free advertising ;^). It really is worth
a subscription IMO.
Very interesting writing (no author is ever listed on the General Market
page, so we don't know who wrote it).
Don't know why the discrepancy in numbers on the NAS volume.
Best Regards,
Craig

I don't interpret it as a follow through day. Too much indecision is
indicated imho.
Every major index at DecisionPoint is showing less volume than the prior
day. http://www.decisionpoint.com/DailyCharts/NYSE.html
The Utilities are especially ugly! Weak is a four letter word!
What is this chart saying?
http://www.decisionpoint.com/DailyCharts/DJU.html
The NASD100 offered the best chart.
http://www.decisionpoint.com/DailyCharts/NAS100.html
but the volume was still not convincingly there.
I think we see a retest of the lows, hopefully we won't take them out, but
if we do, who's interested in short ideas?
5 weeks ago, the Dow scored a high of 11314.64. The decline since is
relatively young for a stock to build an (O'Neal defined) 8 week base for
another run at new highs. Although I understand some stocks started their
declines or bases prior to 5 weeks ago, most stocks would seem to trade in
conjuction with the popular indexes.
If I extrapolate the price action during the subsequent 5 weeks, I think of
charts that could be exhibiting some nice ascending bases, (higher lows, no
new highs, yet). That is if the stock is trading in conjunction with the
general market. These should be forming if we are to advance up with
another leg.
Some charts that are doing just that are: BOBJ, BGEN, CMVT, EFII, EMC,
LGTO, LXK, MMCN, ORCL, QCOM and others.
However, there are already a gaggle ( more than 4 :-> ) of stocks acting
like a correction hasn't been going on.! Astounding. IMHO and experience,
these are good candidates. ( Weekly charts please.)
BGEN, CHIR, INTC, JDSU, MCHP, MSS, PMCS, PTIX (Great chart, is it giving a
second chance? volume a bit high on this retest, looks to fail), SLR
(pulled back a bit, however has made it up), WAT (wowser), XLNX
(diminishing volume), ZOMX.
I think the market may continue giving ambiguous signals. No matter, each
of these listed above have great liquidity and can be traded as they move
from support to resistance and bounce off popular moving averages. Sounds
easy huh?
Hardest thing I've ever done. It has helped treating the Industry groups as
individual markets. They do not all move in the same direction as the
general market. (Market down, oils up, semis up, biotechs up) flip it now
(Market up, oils down, semis down, biotechs down). I'm writing generally
about the groups. INTC of course violated the rules, that is communicating
something huh? What?
Scratch, scratch.....
Still ahead so far and fully in (that could change by 10:30 Monday however).
Will most likely get killed on Monday, toasted.

My guess is this would refer to:

2. The 8/24 (?) FED meeting, the question being 1/4% or 1/2%. 1/4 spells

Well, I am still working through different ways to generate CANSLIM
candidates. My latest seems to be saving quite a bit of time, and
generally that is my main goal right now. My general screening approach is
as follows:
Start with the IBD Weekend Update (85/85/within 15% of 52 week high, > $7)
Screen for stocks $75M to $3B market cap.
Screen for B/B/B in IBD.
Screen for EPS factors, and ROE at Reesegroup and consider insiders and debt.
Verify IBD Inst rating is at least C.
These are the stocks that survived my screen from Friday's paper (arranged
alphabetically). Checking out the technicals, about 4 of these are in
solid uptrends, 4 have broken out but are in the general range of the Pivot
Point, and the rest are working bases of various lengths. Comments are
welcome!!
