The JIMBAT TRADE STRATEGY (Follow The Generals) (This system was designed for funds but works well with stocks.) Final results on the bottom of rankings<TRADEFR.INI> ==========JIMBAT (INVEST-N-BEST) AGGRESSIVE SELECTION PROCESS=========== This approach comes from the BEST rankings of FTOOLS. With this strategy you will always know which stocks are the strongest momentum choices. FTOOLS is a supplementary program to Investor's FastTrack. It uses that database and provides many tools in the selection process. This selection process uses the RATE OF CHANGE, TOTAL RETURN, ACCUTRACK, RELATIVE STRENGTH INDEX and MOM (10 different ranking programs) and then combine all the results. Final results are found on the BOTTOM of the RANKINGS Family used for rankings - generals.fam number of topfunds 5.00 ROC top -------- HMA HEALTH MGMT ASSOC INC NEW 1.00 SPLS STAPLES INC 2.00 BBY BEST
