Introduction Compact

The FOCUS of this thread is on the simple, easy to use stock picking system called C-A-N-S-L-I-M. This system is described in William J. O'Neil's book, How to Make Money in Stocks. Each of the seven letters in C-A-N-S-L-I-M stands for one of the seven factors common to past winners.

C = Current Quarterly Earnings Per Share: How Much is Enough?
A = Annual Earnings Increases: Look for Meaningful Growth.
N = New Products, Management or Highs: Buying at the Right Time
S = Supply and Demand: Small Capitalization Plus Volume Demand.
L = Leader or Laggard: Which is Your Stock?
I = Institutional Sponsorship: A Little Goes a Long Way.
M = Market Direction: How to Determine It?

The PURPOSE of this thread is to show you how to pick more big winners in the stock market and how to substantially reduce your losses and mistakes.

GUIDELINES:

1) Keep subjective opinions to a minimum. Always try to provide objective opinions, based on easily verifiable facts.

2) When possible, provide links to charts and supportive information.

3) When referencing charts without a link, please describe the chart as much as possible. Give plot details so others may plot and view.

4) When using private indicators, please make that known. Of course, no need to reveal.

5) All off topic posts should be proceeded by **OT**. Please keep off topic discussions to a minimum.

6) All discussion should be conducted in a cordial and respectful manner.

Notes:

- Please add a <g> or :) to any attempts at humor so there will be no misunderstandings.

- I want to thank you all in advance for adherence to the guidelines and for your contributions.

Please, enjoy this thread and may it help all to prosper!

Regards,

JT
