<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT><FONT size=2> I
don't mind using funny data as long as it works <G>. Yes the CANSLIM
strategy will work on any size stock. However, it the choice comes down to
a higher cap stock and a lower cap stock, the odds over the long haul favor the
lower cap for a higher overall return. Saying market cap as low as
possible gives one ranking criteria. Microsoft Investor (and Telescan
before it) will combine those relative indicators to come up with a formula to
rank the stocks that have passed the absolute criteria requirements. Then
I normally only view the top 20. Since QP2 doesn't use relative ranking,
I'll have to come up with some other idea for searches with QP2. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> The relative strength in Telescan was
relative to the whole market. All stocks they followed were ranked in
percentiles from 0 to 99. I assume Microsoft Investor does the same but
I,m not sure. I'm not sure what the RSI is in QP2, it may just be the
internal stock RSI. Prices as low as possible is another of the relative
criteria. Like I described above, It's combined with all other relative
criteria in a formula that ranks results of stocks that passed the absolute
criteria screen. Yes, I sometimes do add or delete criteria on the
fly. I like to use the debt/equity as an absolute requirement less than 1,
but sometimes only get a few stocks or none at all when I include it. When
that happens, it means I have to loosen my absolute criteria to get more stocks
to pass the screen. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> I don't think there is a problem with
posting my picks effecting the fills on large volume stocks that trade
actively. However, I have been concerned about the Christmas Special type
picks. I've noticed on some of them that you can usually get a better fill
about an hour after the open. I probably should say something about that
in my next weekly pick If I don't forget it <G>.</FONT></DIV>

How can you possibly discuss using funnymental data on a
TA<BR>list?<BR><BR>Having vented myself I will say that I believe in using
every available<BR>resource to give me an edge in the market.<BR><BR>In your
CANSLIM scan you state that you look for stocks with a market<BR>cap as low
as possible. Why and how low do you go? Does the CANSLIM<BR>strategy not
work on large cap stocks?<BR><BR>In the BotFish scan you ask for stocks with
a 3 month relative strength<BR>to be as high as possible. Relative to what?
An industry group? You also<BR>state that you want price/sales to be as low
as possible and may or may<BR>no use debt/equity requirement. This seems
rather subjective. Do you<BR>dynamically alter your parameters to suit
different market conditions?<BR><BR>On a different subject do you think that
posting your weekly picks could<BR>have an adverse effect on your fills? I
guess I worry that if too many<BR>people start blindly following your
picks someone is going to get a<BR>fill at a significantly higher price that
expected.<BR><BR>I haven't used Schwab of Microsoft. Do you like their
fundamental data<BR>and screening abilities? What about pricing?<BR><BR>Have

The<BR>survey was taken from 11/16 through 11/22 on our web site.
<BR><BR>Number of participants: 329<BR><BR>30 day outlook:<BR><BR>52%
bullish, 45% last week<BR>28% bearish, 29% last week<BR>21%
neutral, 26% last week<BR><BR>(percentages may not sum to 100 due to

available at<BR><<A

.<BR><BR>Bullish sentiment rose 7% last week to end at 52%. This was too be
expected<BR>since the DJIA rose 240+ points last week. The bulls gain came
primarily<BR>from the neutral camp, as bearish sentiment was almost
unchanged. The bears<BR>dropped by 1% to end at 28%. It is difficult to draw
much conclusion from<BR>this week's sentiment data. Bullish sentiment is
high, but it isn't quite<BR>at the level that would sound alarm bells for
the bulls.<BR><BR>Please stop by to take part in this weeks survey at:<BR><A

Rajeessh:
I dont know the context of your question.
Canute ( correct spelling would be Knute as in Knute Rockne) was a king of
Denmark and England. There is a story that his entourage was so
nausiatingly sycophantic flattering that he decided to teach them a lesson.
He set up his chair (throne) on a beach at low tide. When his sycophants
started telling him how great and powerful he was. He asked them if he was
indeed powerful enough to stop the tide. They assured him that he was. He
then sat on his throne and ordered the tide to stop. Of course the tide
continued. After his feet got wet, Canute told his entourage that anyone who
continued with this stupid flattery would be punished. Since both King
Canute and Knute Rockne were capable, sensible and intelligent, I would
consider Canute or Knute a compliment. However our language changes so
rapidly that it can mean anything now.
I hope I got the story straight. Its been more than a decade or two since I
was in grade school.
