DB true, and that is in fact my trading technique. I however, do indeed agree with most of the CANSLIM methods and was sharing my feelings about CANSLIM with the forum. That is what makes trading great, like in the Market Wizards books, each successful trader will find his own method that he is comfortable with. see ya
I the first Market Wizards there are interviews about CANSLIM with William O'Neil and his follower, David Ryan. Ryan says: "I learned that most of our greatest winning recommendations started off with prices under thirty times earnings. O'Neil says the P/E ratio is not important. I think it is, in that your sucess ratio is a lot higher on lower P/E ratio stocks".
Loads more. Im just getting ready to leave for another Xmas get together. If there is interest I can post a few more when I return. brandon
I use point and figure charts. A buy signal followed by a 3 box reversal. The following charts illustrate this pattern: Note that the M part of my system is indicating a position in cash, so I would not be taking these trades. Also note that I use P&F for entry, but not for exits -- I use chandelier exits and profit targets for exits.
Great discussion. I have just recently come across the IBD100 and canslim. This thread had a lot of great insights that still apply today. Thank you all for sharing your thoughts.
