Jeffry: I don't take offense with your ideas. I also, as yet, haven't had a 40% return in a single stock. But, forgetting ones that have already been sold, my current portfolio of 20 stocks has several nice ones with returns of 9.8%, 17.6%, 18.0%, 7.8%, 7.5%, 6.2%, 6.7%, 31.0%, 24.1% and 13.9% as of yesterday's close. The other 10 are marginal but new to the portfolio. I have had other 20%ers since I began. Another good question might address HOW MANY 40%+ stocks you've chosen lately? I hope that some of mine become 2-baggers. I have had them in the past using CANSLIM, but I have not experienced the kind of consistent success before as I have with Pitbull. The 40%ers will come. I still let chart formation, merit ranking and money flow help me to make my final decisions when faced with multiple choices.
Your point has been thoroughly made in this thread a number of times. Why beat a dead horse? Each participant and lurker is left, as should be, to analyze what is said and implement these techniques as they deem appropriate.
