One of the areas aside from RS that I tend to not exactly follow O'Neil on is PE ratio. I am by no means a value investor, but I like to see some sort of value component in a stock I am buying. One of the filters that I use is that the PE on the stock can not be more than 10% above that of the...

I was not going to post this one..but I just will and not put in the symbol. The reason I was reluctant is that it trades about 1000 shares a day, sometimes its trade 100 and sometimes not any at all. I have more shares then Id want to have to get out of all at once, but given the execution risk...

I got out at $9.90 just coz once a stock is above $10 I always tend to think of it as a strong point that Id not like to see it break..so when it did break it I just got out. Personally I have not had very good luck with the cup and handle pattern, so I dont use it much. Id just rather look...

These are my most recent stock trades using CANSLIM. I have pretty much been doing this for my own longer term stuff (longer term for me meaning over a few days anyway ) and for a small managed account. So far I have had my best year ever with it and I like it. Brandon

Mesa Air is a regional airline. It has a decent EPS of 81 and has had good earnings growth the last 2 quarters. Its sales have been growing well for the past 5 qtrs. I liked the weekly chart. I bought it on 11/28 when it broke above $12 per share. I set my stop at $11 and was stopped out on...

Here is the chart for EVG

Evergreen Resourses produces natural gas from old coal fields. Its EPS rating is 99, and its growth has been +121%, +650%, +411% and +172% for the last 4 quarters. Sales have risen for the past 5 quarters. Its EPS Growth rate is 54%. The stock formed a very nice base near highs for several...

Aluminium Corp of China (ACH) is the sole producer of Alumina Oxide and the larget producer of Primary Aluminium in China. Its EPS rating is 97 and its growth has been 176% the last two quarters. Sales have been accelerating for the last four quarters. I entered the stock long on Nov 28th...

Checkers Drive-in (CHKR) Has an EPS rating of 86 and an EPS Growth rate of 36%. Its kind of eratic and the last quarter was actually down over the prior quarter of the same last year..but I liked the chart pattern. It had a nice pullback, the first since the stock starting running in May...

O'Neil spends almost 30 pages going over this. I will put up some charts here though and show some of my entries and exits. As a general rule I try to keep my stops under 8%, which if you are good at reading charts you should be able to do. Brandon

Exactly. Also some of the favorite patterns (Cup with handle for example, buying at a new 52 week high) etc have gotten so much attention that I find it not to always the best time to buy. Looking for other T/A works better. Brandon

Whatever works best for one person will not always work the best for another...so when I do mentoring, as an example, I always try to work with that individual and find what will work for them. I do tell them what I do and how I do it, but in most cases that is not what ends up working best for...

Guess I ruined it then. Off to the gallows.

I have done very well with it this year (CANSLIM) having my best year ever. It will be interesting to see what happens in a bear market. Of course, if you just truely follow what Oneil says you will be in cash during that time. I have modified it somewhat. EPS is very important to me, but RS is...

Robin is great. She has helped me a lot in the past.

I dunno, if I was a member of the NYSE Id love to get rid of the maket maker system. Also, Im sure many of the bigger trading desks wouldnt mind getting rid of it and just going the specialist route as well because its much more profitable for them. Brandon

Why?
