miles'o: Similar, but CANSLIM doesn't incorporate many of these scanned-for criteria. CANSLIM was the baseline for developing it, but I found the additional criteria enhanced the probabilities. Also, CANSLIM wears many masks--even O'Neil doesn't use a fixed set of criteria and mechanically generate picks. I know someone who is an O'Neil disciple, gets his institutional service, and has been to dozens of his seminars. The institutional buy lists have no common fundamental criteria that I could ever "reverse engineer" (believe me, I tried!), and if you go strictly "by the book" his buy list only contains a small percentage that are truly "by the book." Just goes to show that experience plays a key role also. His avoid list is used as a short list by many institutions. I have found that many of the stocks that make it through both the fundamental and technical screens I do are on his institutional buy list plus or minus a week from when I indentify them with my screens. Please don't ask me to post contents of the O'Neil lists--that would be unethical. dh
