I just discovered this thread and was disappointed to see it become inactive. Therefore, I offer the following as an attempt to revive it. It is from some notes of a presentation I did to my investment club a few years ago.

OVERVIEW:
William O’Neill & Co.
Investor’s Business Daily

C-A-N-S-L-I-M

A = Annual Earnings Increases (Look for meaningful growth)
