LOL, I think I need a 50" plasma to see that whole thing!! haha
Since there is so much chatter about TRLG...I put this Daily chart together for it showing how I might have traded it using the same indicators.
Using these indicators probably will never let you get anywhere near the max on a trade...But, barring some disaster(which can happen sometimes) your losses should be extremely small.
On day trades I rarely lose more than 2%.

Sorry about the chart size...I actually use the Beta at Stockcharts(much clearer)...But I don't know how to post the Beta charts...Doug(IIC)

Do you have Snagit? With their program you can capture anything. I use the beta charts at times and capture a chart with Snagit and the bring it here with ImageShack. No problemo. BTW, can't you make the chart smaller at Stockcharts. You can also try Infanview. It's free and very easy to downsize your charts to a manageable size and still remain legible.

My ENG trade today:
http://trimurl.com/3X5 (http://trimurl.com/3X5)
The reason I am doing this is because I have been practicing with
the RUT chart as I'm preparing to day trade e-minis hopefully in 2
or 3 months...So, I am practicing identifying my
buy/trim/sell/short/cover points. Admittedly, the Futures chart will
not match the Index Chart...In fact I'm just getting my feet wet on
learning about Index Arbitrage which I will have to thoroughly
understand.
Anyway, of course, everything works great on paper. When I'm
watching in Real time I can get a very close price on what I will
get it at. When I go back to review 1 min charts I use the worst
possible price in the following minute.
Here is today's RUT...Not that great today as there were no big
moves after the beginning...but still OK: (I ran out of annotations so I did not
indicate trim signals)
http://trimurl.com/3XI (http://trimurl.com/3XI)
Also, I decided to start trying the same method on REAL $$$ day
trading stocks...That way it is realistic at least...However, my
indicators seem better suited to the indices.
Here is a chart of what happened to me on TRAD
http://trimurl.com/3XJ (http://trimurl.com/3XJ)
And here is RMBS...My signal said sell...So I sold
http://trimurl.com/3XL (http://trimurl.com/3XL)
I also marked some other nice buy points...but I was not watching it.
That will be the nice thing about e-minis...Don't have to bouce all
over to look for stocks...just concentrate on one or two indices...IIC
Doug or anyone HELP when I put up trimurl.com to bring up charts I get PAGE CAN NOT BE FOUND FROM YAHOO, and NO ADDRESS ON GOOGLE SEARCH and I have not had a beer today.
I'm not saying this is the Holy Grail of Day Trading and it certainly won't let you stay in many long runs...but of the hundreds of daily 1 minute charts I've looked at so far there seems to be very little risk. Sure, anything could happen due to news...But that can happen with any method.
I need to work on an alert system for stocks though...or an intraday scan. I found myself looking all over the place for stocks today...Of course I was working too.
These patterns also seem to be good on daily charts for longer buys...but since I'm not interested in looking at those right now I can't say it with much authority...Doug

IIC, in regard to your charts. Do you buy or sell everytime the line passes through the mid point or only if it goes up to a certail level? I see you're using 5,10,20 as your parameters, do you like that better than the 7,14, 28 that is usually used?

Doug,
Nice pick. What did you see there?
I just saw an opportunity to make a quick buck as it approached 18. If it had not blown through I would've immediately turned around and clicked the sell confirm...It was one of those "Get In...Get Out...Get It Over with" trades...But I didn't buy that much of it...Doug
Posting DayTrades on the forum is not really helpful to anyone though...that's why I don't make a habit of doing it. By the time I IM my partner, post on a chat I'm on and then post here...a few minutes could go by...IIC
And now look what happened...while I'm sittin' around here posting I missed my main DT watch for today which was FORD :(
Besides BABY, I also DT'd SUF today...worked out OK and I bot GOL, but not for a DT...So the year's cruising along great and then WHAMMO!!!...My Pick of the Year IDWK gets whacked A/H on EPS...Glad I was in the early stages of accumulation...throw that plan out the window...Paid 5.84 last week...A/H down .99 to 5.30. I can handle the loss...But this is the first time I ever remember owning the "Biggest % Loser" on the DJ A/H list :( ...Doug(IIC)

Trimmed FCFS 30.70's
Holding over the rest of FCFS
To be honest...although I picked up a decent stake in FCFS...My day trades have been rather small $$$ amounts the last 3 weeks. The reason for this is because I have been working on these new signals (new to me anyway)...They were working great on paper...but that was not very realistic...So I decided to practice with real money. Not a whole lot of emotion involved with these dollar amounts...although I'm not a very emotional trader anyway, but there is always a little emotion unless you are on auto-trade. Anyway, even the smaller dollar amounts make it more realistic as you end up paying more or selling for less on many market orders than you do on paper.
One thing that is still not realistic w/ the smaller trades is the price you get on market orders; e.g. Buying a lower volume stock...400 shs vs 4000 ...not likely to get them all filled at the same price. But as I go and refine what I'm trying to do...I will increase the $$$ and most likely not trade any of the thins...Doug(IIC)

On a more serious note...What concerns me is that the Government does not want to see GM or F go down the tubes...So they(we) help them out...Happened w/ the Banks...Why the heck do you think they let Bank of America take over Security Pacific in '92???
Similar situation w/ the Airlines...Personally, I have no problem with the Gov't trying to keep things stable...I am not an activist either way...But my GrandDaddy was a broker...and a very sharp guy (Died in '64)...One thing that he told me which I still believe..."One day the Gov't will run the airlines"...I still believe it.
Another thing he told me..."Just because they are relatives...Doesn't mean you have to LIKE 'em"...And I've believed that ever since...Doug(IIC)

Since we have so many new members I thought it would be a good idea to reiterate the criteria for the MoMo (MOMENTUM) List.
I've been posting this daily list...except when I'm on vacation since early 2004.
They are not recommendations...They are simply stocks in the Top 5% of my Relative Strength(RS) database that closed up at least 2% on at least 50% more volume than the Average Daily Volume(ADV).
My RS numbers do not necessarily "exactly" match others RS numbers because we use 1-100 ratings, I'm sure we treat IPO's a little differently than others...Actually, I don't know how others treat them...And we only have 5,500 symbols in our database...Some others have more. But, generally our RS numbers are within a few of what I have seen elsewhere.

The Market's Most Overvalued Stocks
Consider selling these pricey shares.
by Mitchell P. Corwin, CFA, CPA | 01-13-06 | 06:00 AM
Equity valuations as a whole barely budged in 2005, but the market remains a bit on the pricey side when compared to Morningstar's collective fair value estimates (To see more on Morningstar's perspective on market valuations, check out our Market Valuation Graph). The median stock in our coverage universe of 1,700 stocks is now trading at nearly a 10% premium to our estimate of its fair value. However, within our overall coverage universe, there remain plenty of stocks that are trading at significant discounts or premiums to our fair value estimates.
For today's Stock Strategist, we'll take a look at some stocks at the high end of the range: those trading at prices more than 2 times our estimate of the company's underlying fair value. Nearly 100 stocks were pricey enough to pass this screen as of Jan. 11, 2006. All of these stocks are expensive enough that we'd consider selling them, but we narrowed the list a bit further by screening for stocks lacking an economic moat and showing an above-average level of business risk.
A total of 80 stocks made the final cut. Over one fifth of those stocks were in the industrial materials sector and nearly another fifth are classified as energy firms. The common thread running through many of these high-priced stocks is the influence of high energy prices and insatiable demand by investors for anything remotely correlated with the booming price of gold.
In addition to energy and industrials, many other sectors are represented in this list, including media, business services, financial services, hardware, and health care. I thought I'd highlight a few of these larger companies that we think are overvalued for reasons other than having to do with the price of commodities:
Sirius Satellite Radio SIRI
Price/fair value ratio: 302%
From the Analyst Report: "With all of the substitutes to satellite radio available, each installed satellite radio unit will not translate into a self-paying subscriber. Not all consumers will want to spend $150 per year for satellite radio when terrestrial radio, still available through satellite radio hardware, costs nothing. In our opinion, digital music on MP3 players, wireless networks capable of streaming Internet radio into the car, and content through cell phones loom as potential threats, too."
US Airways Group LCC
Price/fair value ratio: 330%
From the Analyst Report: "Let's get one thing straight: Newlywed US Airways is not a low-cost carrier, no matter what its ticker suggests. Despite its newfound financial stability and some favorable near-term industry trends, US Airways cannot escape its poor business fundamentals. This is not a buy-and-hold stock."
MEMC Electronic Materials WFR
Price/fair value ratio: 328%
From the Analyst Report: "MEMC Electronic Materials is one of many suppliers of silicon wafers, the disks on which semiconductors are fabricated. Despite the firm's impressive comeback, the industry's commodity nature and MEMC's capital intensity still concern us."
LSI Logic LSI
Price/fair value ratio: 204%
From the Analyst Report: "LSI has also struggled to keep pace within its own ASIC market. The firm has steadily been losing share, as its manufacturing capabilities have fallen behind those of rivals like IBM IBM. Larger ASIC suppliers, by streamlining their leading-edge manufacturing with the design process, offer a much higher value proposition to customers than LSI, in our view."
Elan ADR ELN
Price/fair value ratio: 533%
From the Analyst Report: "Elan is a broken company desperately trying to fix itself. Its success requires Tysabri's return to the market, but even then, the company faces an uphill path to become cash flow positive (let alone stay that way). We have incorporated some of the risks into our fair value estimate, but we would still require a hefty margin of safety before investing."

I was only looking for a quarter...ended up w/ 6 cents...I've had a number of small gainers...which wouldn't be too bad if I could do 10 times a day...But...
The signals I am using for many of these dt's are ones that I set up for the indices...specifically the RUT...On paper they are much more reliable on the indices...trying them out on stocks for practice...So far I've made money each time on about 25 of them...but no big gainers....I'm not ready to tackle the indices yet.

<< This is gonna be a tough nut to crack through >>
That was my comment on ADRX. Poor close, relative to today's high.
Yes...But anyway, I don't particularly like it...But it just happened to get the signals. I keep about 500 stocks on various lists at any one time...Some lists I rarely check unless I'm bored...
ADRX was on my pre-m news list this morning(because of the AZN court ruling). This partular list I keep an eye on for possible dt's. Normally, I watch these for p/b's on lower volume and possible consolidations...Wait for a possible 2nd move on volume. But right now the majority of my dt's are based on the indicator signals...But as I prevoiusly mentioned, the signals are better suited to the less volatile index moves.
Some lists I only update on the weekends...some daily...Doug

I'm in quite a few forums...and I'll tell 'ya...Seems like so many are so fickle...All these people were so bullish the first couple weeks...now we get a natural correction this week and now I read all these "Sky Is Falling" messages all over the place.
Maybe I'm just not that emotional...I was not very bullish when all these people were...And now I'm not particularly bearish...I just try to go with the flow at the time...IIC

Ford Motor (nyse: F (http://www.forbes.com/finance/mktguideapps/compinfo/CompanyTearsheet.jhtml?tkr=F) - news (http://www.forbes.com/markets/company_news.jhtml?ticker=F)- people (http://www.forbes.com/peopletracker/results.jhtml?startRow=0&name=&ticker=F)) is expected to report fourth-quarter earnings before the start of trading on Monday. Ford is also expected to provide details regarding the automaker's restructuring strategy. Wall Street analysts anticipate fourth-quarter earnings of a penny per share, well below comparable earnings from last year when it posted fourth-quarter earnings of 28 cents per share. Sales are forecasted at $37.33 billion, compared with year-ago sales of $38.87 billion. Prudential cut earnings estimates for Ford on Jan. 5. "We are cautious about Ford's earnings this year, as the company's U.S. market share should drop substantially due to a relatively weak cadence of 8%, a high average vehicle age, and consumers' tepid response to the recently launched Explorer/Mountaineer," the firm said. "We believe that a significant share decline in 2006 could undermine confidence in the Way Forward plan as the year progresses."

I just signed up for this:
http://FreeConference.com (http://freeconference.com/)
You can hold conference calls with up to 100 people at no cost.
Everyone calls the same tel. # and inputs the access code you give
them. The freebies can last up to 3 hrs. They have paid stuff too
(Like 800 access)...I set up a test conference from L.A....They
assigned the number to a Ventura tel. # which is a toll call (about 40
miles away).
But I assume most people have free 24/7 long distance on their home
telephone anyway...Doug(IIC)
Masteringthemarkets(mtm) mentioned PALM to me the night before last. Was watching yesterday for a b/o that didn't come...But it still looked good...I couldn't buy it at the right time because I wasn't around but I did switch to it in the POTW pre-m for the open.
Well, it certainly was PALM Friday +5.7%...Unfortunately I saw the
first 10 mins and the last 40 mins of the mkt. day. But I had to buy PALM in the last 1/2 hr since I've been yapping about it all over the Net for 2 days. I only made lunch money(literally) on it...I ate at Taco Bell(Actually I do have enough left over for a 6 pack tonight)...Also made some pocket change on BNT.
Was watching NKTR though when it started to drop and drop and
drop...checked news and saw the PFE news. I waited to see how far it
would go and then caught .39 on the bounce...held it for 3
minutes...it kept going up for a few more mins though...and then it
tanked again...Doug

Here is my Chinese watch list:

Unfortunately, Hong Kong will be closed Monday and Tuesday. Other Chinese markets will be closed all week...But I might slip in unnoticed somewhere...IIC

It would be helpful for newcomers for you to include in your posts what criteria you use to produce these lists. :)
It would be helpful for newcomers for you to include in your posts what criteria you use to produce these lists. :)
I do it periodically...so here it is again:
MoMo:
These are stocks in the Top 5% of my Relative Stregth database of 5500 stocks that closed up 2%+ on at least 1.5x ADV.
IIC 100:
Actually, I got a number of emails today asking me about the criteria...And since the Top 10 is kickin' a*s +22% YTD...Here is my response:
Sorry...I can't do that. However I will tell you this much (This what I posted at my site below)...There are a few parameters which I use that nobody else knows about. I also don't tell anyone how I sort them.
The IIC 100 consists of stocks in the upper 30% of my Relative Strength Database that have good current EPS increases and EPS is projected to substantially increase in the future. Note: My Relative Strength Database may not match others but it is pretty close
since the formula is very basic.
You cannot run this scan at Stockcharts...They have no fundamental data...I use my own scan...Thanks, Doug
I seriously considered deleting IFO from the list Saturday morning...But it is a mechanical scan...These are not my recommendations...Simply new ideas as a starting point. But I'll tell ya...As soon as WON reveals the IBD 100 criteria...I'll reveal mine...Don't hold your breadth.

Was just looking at my overall Y-T-D...Not bad...Had a few hiccups(IDWK, SUPX)...but it was pretty nice. I was preoccupied some w/ work and the emini study which is about 2 weeks behind schedule...But no problem. I actually felt that I was pressing some the last week or so...That is not good...To me that means I was buying some stocks for dt's that were not quite there...but I tried to out smart the mkt...Not a very good plan....But on my dt's I kept losses very low...that was good...So it was a pretty good month.
For February...I'm working on some new scan type things...want to catch up on my emini training...So I plan on making more selective DT's....But so far...I'll take it this year :)
"I'm not as good as I once was...But, once...I'm as good as I ever was"
Good-bye Al...Hello Inflation!!!
Results are in for the first month:
Buy at the open on Monday...Sell at the close on Friday...But as of today's close:
IIC 100 Top 10...+21.96%
IBD 100 Top 10...+16.69%
IIC100/IBD100 Combo List...+12.27%
Any thoughts on AMZN???...EPS on Thursday...Could be a good straddle...IIC

Congrats on WITS dude! You were overdue for that one. :D
May it make it's way onto my impulsive c long stalk sheet next week. I believe it needs a weekly close over 23.80 and it'll be set for more upside and maybe take out 29.87 resistance in weeks ahead. What's yer target?

This week there are 25...Last week there were 28...Of the 28...8 were up and 20 were down...Not a particularly stellar week for the Combo List. Quite a few changes on the list this week...But that is to be expected during earnings season.

Y-T-D +8.84%. The IIC 100 Top Ten +2.72% and +16.73%...The IBD 100 Top Ten +0.54% and +15.25%.

You know...I'm all for being flexible and adaptable to changing conditions or even improving upon stock selection skills...But I truly think the IBD folks don't know what the heck they are talking about anymore.
They claim CANSLIM is based upon 50 years of research (Now they claim 115 yrs...at least they did at the Expo) and they found patterns and characteristics of Winners that never change. But in the last few years they seem to change CANSLIM every month or so...Like they got left behind the times and can't figure out what to do now.
The article that really got me came out last year about how breakouts don't have to have volume...WHAT!?!?!?...Mr. Breakout would never say anything like that.
Personally, I use IBD for some of their info...Not for CANSLIM...Thx...Doug

Boy, you really have to be looking for a cup with handle formation to see one where she has found it. It reminds me of the old SNL where Father Guido Sarducci came up with the famous "find the Pope in the pizza contest."

I wouldn't believe a word they say anymore. They flow with the tide an have been changing their basic disciplines to fit what will sell subscriptions and newspapers plus O'Neil's books. How you could trade their strategy's in today markets perplex's me. I guess some people are still adhering to them but I just don't see it working.

I'm not gonna claim that I'm the Big Canslim expert or anything...But I know the original system very well...I was a 90% CS'er from the 70's till 2000 (Especially starting in '83)...It served me well...no complaints during that time...But times do change and I don't blame them for trying to adapt...BUT...You can't claim 50 or 115 yrs of success using a system and then change the whole thing and still claim 50 or 115 years of success...What are we...Morons???
I also don't blame them for their Big Cap and Under $10 lists...They want to provide info to people like me who will pay them for Non-Canslim data...I have no problem with that...But please don't make outrageous claims that nobody can check out because you won't tell them how you calculated it.
For example, I am giving you some stats on the IIC and IBD Top 10 each week...I'm not even the one who calcs it...But you can double check if you want...I originally created the IIC 100 back in the Summer of 2004 because I was trying to figure out how they come up with the IBD 100...I never did figure it out...But I think the IIC 100 is more forward looking...And why do people buy stocks? I for one don't care what happened yesterday...I care about what will happen tomorrow...Only time will tell...Too bad they won't publically respond to me (I know for a fact they read what I post about them)...But to be honest...They would be really stupid if they ever do....Best, Doug(IIC)

ICSC-UBS said chain-store sales rose at a slightly less firm year-on-year pace of 3.8% in the Feb. 4 week, down from a 4.1% pace in the Jan. 28 week that was boosted by an easy weather comparison with an especially frigid 2005 week. Week-to-week, sales gained 2.0% reflecting Super Bowl effects (big gains for food). Redbook is up later this morning.

-.21...Made +.05 on ESCL and +.04 on LJPC(at first I thought I got .05 on it but the sell went off in multiple trades)...But WITS is +17% ytd...IIC
BTW...The IIC 100 got whacked today...A/D/U 10/89/1...But that often happens to MoMo type lists when the market tanks...The key is that they go up more on good days than they go down on bad days in the long run...But they were hit hard.

Although the way it turns out can affect the market...Caution is in order:
It's finally here! The first 30-year bond auction in five years! Fourteen billions dollars of the paper will be offered to what the Treasury at least hopes will be strong demand.

Amazing coincidence that I bought MIND yesterday and it shows up on your list today. The same thing has happenned on several other occassions with ABAX and PETS, two stocks that ran up some pretty impressive gains right after I bought them. Reassuring to see that they turn up on someone elses watchlist after the fact. I mentioned DXPE in the same post with MIND an it is in the same sector but didn't show up on your list. They both had a nice gain on this past Monday and tanked big time the rest of the week. MIND bottomed Friday afternoon an I jumped in on what I think is the C wave bottom. Showing some interest from that bottom.
Here is a very simple way to predict market direction. Not 100% foolproof but pretty accurate...This is a daily chart, I normally use the 1 minute chart during market hours...Doug

Just checked the link...The first green bar should be moved to the right by a couple days and the bar at the end of Oct. should be green
Doug sure would like to know the answer to that. I thought that gold was a defensive play? Guess I have to ask MM

<< I thought that gold was a defensive play? >>
Used to be but hasn't been for a while. Nowadays it's more of a U.S. Dollar hedge, since gold and the USD are inversely correlated to each other. You also need to consider China and India, who are significant buyers of gold for reasons unrelated to the USD.

Hope everyone is having a nice holiday weekend...So far mine sux...Last night my wife dragged me out to the L.A. Philharmonic at Disney Hall for my annual dose of culture...What a Drag!!!
Someone gave her the tix...But I can think of no worse way to spend an evening...First of all, it said on the tix Beethoven and Strauss...Imagine my disappointment when they replaced Strauss with Stravinsky.
A word of advice...Don't get there early...Listening to these people warm up actually gave me a headache...And then once they get started it's like watching Ice Dancing with no skaters.
At the intermission everyone was clapping for so long...I couldn't tell if they were applauding because they liked it or because they were so glad to get a break.
Even my wife who was ticked at me for not wanting to go hinted that she wouldn't mind leaving at that point...But I told her the second half was only going to last 50 mins...Since she dragged me out in the rain for this I was gonna make her suffer too.
After intermission was over we noticed that there were quite a few seats empty...I told her "Now you know why people give these tickets away"...Heck, I'd rather have gone to the Ballet with Ray...IIC

I think we all know the answer to that one; at least those of us who are past IBD subscribers.
Tough day after the Naz dropped like a rock thru the 20ema (2273)...I took it easy... VDSI +.13 ESLR -.03 and scratched on XMSR early...+.46 on ARD late.

Two Small Tech Stocks That Could Win Big
By TIERNAN RAY
Editor's Note: In our special report, "Small Companies, Big Futures," for Barron's Online's Open House, Weekday Trader will look at up-and-comers that could become tomorrow's big stars. Today we focus on technology companies, followed on Wednesday and Thursday by health care and energy.
WHERE IS THE NEXT CISCO (http://online.barrons.com/quotes/main.html?type=djn&symbol=csco) SYSTEMS?
In the five years after its initial public offering in February 1990, Cisco's market capitalization surged to nearly $10 billion from only a few hundred million, enriching the initial wave of tech investors that decade.
http://online.barrons.com/public/resources/images/Barrons_SmallBiz02142006121357.jpg
Now, there are roughly 250 information-technology companies whose market values range from $500 million to $2 billion, according to Thomson Financial/Baseline.
Analysts and money managers who spoke with Barron's Online have identified two of them -- Informatica (http://online.barrons.com/quotes/main.html?type=djn&symbol=infa) and Witness Systems (http://online.barrons.com/quotes/main.html?type=djn&symbol=wits) -- as having what it takes to be tomorrow's big winners.
What is that magic quality? Paul Weinstein, a venture capitalist with Azure Capital Partners, remembers following Cisco as an analyst with Kidder Peabody in the early 1990s.
"You had a company with multiple, large addressable markets that was gaining share. That will normally lead to expanding margins and thus rising profitability," he explains.
It also had good management. "[Cisco's then-chief executive officer], John Morgridge, had that 'aw, shucks,' simple Midwestern manner, but underneath he was strategically minded and really ruthless," recalls Weinstein.
Such gems are harder to find these days, says John Slavik, portfolio manager of the Loomis Sayles Small Cap Growth Fund. The "perfect storm" that resulted from Y2K preparations, the personal computer boom, and the Internet's emergence doesn't happen every decade, he points out.
At a Glance:
Informatica (http://online.barrons.com/quotes/main.html?type=djn&symbol=infa) (INFA)

CEO: Sohaib Abbasi Headquarters: Redwood City, Calif.
Witness Systems (http://online.barrons.com/quotes/main.html?type=djn&symbol=wits) (WITS)
http://online.barrons.com/public/resources/images/ON-AB237_bwits_20060214175506.jpg
Stock Price: $23.14 52-Wk High: $24.15 52-Wk Low: $15.68 Market Cap: $642.97 million Earnings Est. (FY '06): $.83 Forward P/E: 23.6x Projected Long-Term EPS Growth Rate: 20% Projected EPS Growth ('06/'05): 22% Sales (12 mos. through Dec. 2005): $185.37 million Div. Yield: NA CEO: David B. Gould Headquarters: Roswell, Ga. Sources: Thomson Financial Network, Yahoo! Finance
Companies that have talented managers and serve growing, important market niches may have the best shot at future stardom.
Slavik thinks he's found one in Informatica, whose market capitalization is $1.21 billion.
If Cisco's routers are the plumbing of the Internet, Informatica's software pipes data to and from all the disparate programs sold to corporations by the likes of Oracle (http://online.barrons.com/quotes/main.html?type=djn&symbol=orcl) and SAP (http://online.barrons.com/quotes/main.html?type=djn&symbol=sap).
Executives use Informatica's software to see the most important data from all those programs in a single database.
Now, its market is set to double, says Christopher Wright, an analyst at Stifel Nicolaus. Increasingly, companies are using Informatica's product, PowerCenter, to reduce the number of software programs they need to gather and store data.
"The larger market is for data integration, which lets companies use fewer programs, and that can really cut [information technology] staffing costs," says Wright.
Slavik also likes Chief Executive Officer Sohaib Abbasi, who took the helm about two years ago when Informatica's previous chief abruptly resigned amid a decline in sales growth.
Abbasi, who worked at Oracle from its days as a start-up, is "very well-respected in the industry and the investment community, and he's reinvigorated the sales force," says Slavik.
After boosting profits 163% last year from 2004's trough, Informatica will deliver more modest growth this year (see At a Glance). But Wall Street estimates earnings will rise by a healthy 18% annually over the next five years, way above the 12% projected growth of Oracle and SAP.
Witness Systems, whose market capitalization is $637 million, also may be breaking into a much broader market.
Witness' software is part of the $5 billion market for software and services known as "human capital management," says Judy Sweeney, an analyst with AMR Research in Boston.
Sales of certain products, such as the employee scheduling programs that Witness offers, are growing faster than the total market is.
Witness started out selling software that lets managers record calls to service reps. Through acquisitions, it branched out into programs that let companies schedule employees' shifts, check whether reps meet the compliance department's rules, and send training materials to employees' computer screens.
Witness' year-over-year sales growth, excluding acquisitions, was 15% in the December quarter -- faster than that of competitors Nice Systems (http://online.barrons.com/quotes/main.html?type=djn&symbol=nice) or Verint Systems (http://online.barrons.com/quotes/main.html?type=djn&symbol=vrnt), notes Mark daSilva, a technology analyst for Principal Global Investors of Des Moines, Iowa.
"This kind of software can improve companies' return on investment because it cuts the cost of labor," which is two-thirds of the $300 billion spent worldwide each year on call centers, says daSilva.
Meanwhile, Witness' operating margins jumped to 18.9% of sales in the most recent quarter, from 11.4% of sales in 2004's December quarter, notes analyst Brad Whitt of RBC Capital Markets.
Sales, which leaped 31% last year, are set to grow by about 15% this year, and profits should rise 20% annually over the next five years.
In an age of outsourcing, international revenue has risen to 38% of sales last year from 25% in 2002.
Trading at 23.6x next year's estimated earnings (see At a Glance), Witness is only a hair more expensive than Verint or Nice.
Of course, small tech stocks like Informatica and Witness don't grow straight to the sky. Venture capitalist Weinstein recalls Cisco's plunge in mid-1994, when it enjoyed a premium P/E to peers.
"All of a sudden, [the attitude was] their sales growth rate wasn't going to pick up, and they were never going to make money again," he muses.
But as their product offerings grow and their markets expand, Witness and Informatica may indeed be able to keep the momentum going as they gain share. And even if they're not the next Cisco, they're likely to come out winners in the years ahead.
Full Disclosure:
• Judy Sweeney with AMR Research doesn't own shares of Witness Systems.
• Christopher Wright doesn't own shares of Witness Systems, and Stifel Nicolaus doesn't have investment banking business with the company.
• Loomis Sayles & Co. owns 203,100 shares of Informatica, according to its most recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, dated Dec. 31, 2005.
• Principal Global Investors owns 114,390 shares of Witness Systems, according to its most recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, dated Dec. 31, 2005.

Hey IIC what do u think about TALX...it had a decent day today...with above average volume...i thought it would be included in your MOMO list.
cheers
I was watching TALX this morn...But I wasn't there at the right time...But I do like it for a possible further opportunity.
Just checked...It has a 94 RS rating from IBD which is in their Top 5 %. Unfortunately, my RS rating does not always match IBD's. There are several reasons for that...1) Mine uses 1-100 and their's is 1-99...2)They have over 7,000 in their database and I only have 5,500...3) I don't think IBD and I treat IPO's exactly the same.
Anyway, TALX gets a 94 rating on my scan too...But that's not in my TOP 5%...One more point on my RS rating and TALX woulda made the MoMo List...Sorry...I have to cut it off somewhere.
BTW...Here is my MoMo criteria:
1) Top 5% of my Relative Strength Database
2) Up 2%+
3) At least 1.5x ADV
Well...As MeatLoaf would say..."Two outta Three ain't Bad"
But overall...I think it is well worth investigating...Best, Doug

WITS update fer ya IIC:
http://spikefader.wordpress.com/2006/03/05/wits/
I also note now it's acting very very very bullish on daily, weekly and monthly bollinger bands. And if it can close this quarterly candle over the recent highs, that'll be acting very bullish on a quarterly bollinger band chart too! Wow, that would infer to me highs over 44.00 in the next 3 years, or quicker if/when it starts to really get madly impulsive, which it hasn't really done during this meander up. I suspect the move from Oct '03 to now has been very well manipulated/controlled. Look at the volume will ya. There's some big money almost wanting in before the 25.00 resistance. The handle from July 04 never really led to impulses, which I find surprizing...it kinda stalled out early last year and did the ascending thing...
Anyway, some speculation in there for ya...Now what would change my bias is if it pops to new highs and sells quick and forms a high volume down weekly candle or something like that, or loses that gap support at 20.78......that would be whispering very worriesome uncertainty, and I'd be flippin to neutral in a heartbeat.
Good luck. I know your target isn't far off and I'm kinda wondering if it ain't worth retargeting if new highs from here is convincing.
Good luck.
First of all...I bookmarked your site...Cool!!!
Second of all...Yes...Mysterious...Who the heck are you?...You could make your GRAND ENTRANCE at the Mr. M Convention!!!
Third of all...WITS...Back to support...No problem...I've believed in this outfit for 2 years....(Call Center Magazine is Never Wrong...LOL)...Great mention in Barron's a few weeks ago...then a downgrade...It all evens out...I only bot 2x...April and June '04...Avg. 14.49...Loaded up in my wife's IRA on the first buy...But I never told her about the drop to 9.64 (I don't even have to look it up) back in July '04...Actually, I did tell her about it much later after it got up over 15...But to be honest...I shoulda bailed much earlier...Especially because we are pretty heavy in it...I always coulda bot it back...It was a risk that I should not have taken in retrospect...But I've owned some great companies over the years...Sold MIDD in the 25.90's...Sold HANS at 25...Sold MSFT for the last time(except DT's) in 1989...There are too many to mention...But it just goes to prove the old adage "Ya wanna get rich?...Just buy what IIC sells"...Let's see if it happens w/ WITS too...Best, Doug

Here is their explanation:
NASDAQ's Market Pathfinders indicates the primary side taken (buying vs. selling) by certain market participants that we call "Market Pathfinders". Market Pathfinders are market participants that appear to be calling the direction of the market by predominantly buying (in the expectation of a price increase) or selling (in the expectation of a price decrease) a large number of shares. The goal is to indicate the market expectations of such market participants. The information is calculated every 5 minutes and includes all trades in the NASDAQ Market Center
What are "Pathfinders"?
Market Pathfinders are market participants that appear to be taking a position in a stock over a period of time. We define a Pathfinder as any market participant with at least 75% of their traded share volume in a stock on one side of the market (buying vs. selling). For example, a participant identified as a buying Market Pathfinder in a stock would be one that over a period had a buying to selling ratio of more than 3:1 (three shares bought for every one share sold in that stock). A selling Market Pathfinder would have a buy/sell ratio of 1:3.
What market participants are not considered Market Pathfinders?
A neutral market participant would be one that had a ratio nearer to 1:1 (nearer to 50% buying, 50% selling), which indicates that over the period they were trying to maintain a flat position (avoiding going long or short in a stock).
Is there any way to find out the identities of the Market Pathfinders?
No, NASDAQ does not identify the Market Pathfinders. Nor does NASDAQ reveal how many Pathfinders were identified over a given time period. We only indicate whether these market participants were predominantly buying or selling.
What is the difference between the 3 time periods provided?
We find the Pathfinders over 3 time periods: the past 5 minutes, the past 1 hour, and the past 2 hours. The longer time periods are likely to be more reliable because market participants have had more time to choose their position (long, short, or neutral).
How are the Market Pathfinder Indicators calculated?
First we identify the Market Pathfinders for the chosen period. Pathfinders are market participants with at least 75% of their traded volume in a stock on one side of the market (buying vs. selling). Second, we count the number of pathfinders buying and the number of pathfinders selling and report the percentage buying this indicates whether Market Pathfinders in that stock over that period were predominantly buyers or sellers. Third we calculate the number of shares bought by Pathfinders and the number of shares sold by Pathfinders, and report the percentage bought by Pathfinders this indicates whether Market Pathfinders in that stock over that period were predominantly buying or selling as measured by the number of shares.
What do the heat maps signify?
The heat maps provide a graphical presentation of Pathfinder buying and selling. The greener an issue is, the more the Pathfinders are buying in that issue (or the more shares Pathfinders are buying). The redder an issue is, the more the Pathfinders are selling in that issue. To view the percentage buying, hold your cursor over the box and a tooltip will appear showing the percentage number.
What does the legend at the bottom of the heat map represent?
This represents the range from highest to lowest buying percentage for all issues shown.
Which issues are represented in the heat map?
Our Market Pathfinder heat maps currently cover only NQ100 issues. If no Pathfinders are identified in an issue (i.e. no participant had at least 75% of their traded share volume in a stock on one side of the market), then the issue will not be shown. It is not uncommon to see fewer than 100 issues on our NQ100 heat maps.

Many of the NYSE listed issues are funds of various types or foreign companies. This dilutes the value of the raw advance/decline measure as the basis for gauging what's really happening with U.S. equities. Beware.

The Profiting Prophet of Playa del Rey
Lots of people are believers in William O'Neil's CAN SLIM system for picking stocks. Can a method that sounds like a diet and leaves no room for emotion really work?
By Thomas M. Kostigen, Thomas M. Kostigen is the author of "What Money Really Means."
March 5, 2006
Is that a cup and handle? Do I see a "W" pattern on the chart in front of me?
I am sitting in my den in Venice, staring at a computer screen, trying to discern these things. The charts I am scrutinizing are of stock prices, and I am trying to find the right one, the one that's behaving like a stock whose price is about to soar.
Finally, I think I've found it, a ladle-looking image that marks the rise, fall and rise again of a company's worth in the market. This particular company, EZCorp Inc., operates pawnshops and payday loan stores. It's based in Austin, Texas, and has about 2,500 employees. But it doesn't really matter what it does or who works there or where it's located. Those things aren't considered important by the system of stock trading I am following, CAN SLIM.
This system, I've been promised, works wonders. The name may sound more like a diet technique than a way to get rich, but it will supposedly teach me "the secrets to building stock market wealth."
A lot of people are believers. In fact, there's a huge investment subculture that follows the seven-step process buried within that acronym and devised by a financial guru from Playa del Rey. I am about to push a button and become one of his disciples.
I had vaguely heard of William J. O'Neil. I had even written a few stories for the newspaper he owns, Investor's Business Daily. But beyond O'Neil's connection to the paper, I knew practically nothing about him, despite my 15-plus years in financial journalism.
Which is kind of strange if you think about it.
In his own orbit, I would come to find, O'Neil is lauded as a genius, a maverick who invented a system of stock trading that unfailingly achieves what the no-nonsense title of his national bestseller says: "How to Make Money in Stocks . . . in Good Times or Bad."
He is said to be the first person to computerize market data, and he owned a seat on the New York Stock Exchange when he was only 30. Besides publishing Investor's Business Daily, which claims a readership of 800,000, he runs William O'Neil & Co., which provides statistics and analysis to hundreds of Wall Street's largest institutions.
He has given seminars and workshops across the globe. And thousands of people have joined investment clubs to follow his system of stock trading. Closer to home, he owns a printing company that publishes the Blue Cross guide and parts manuals for Nissan and Toyota, as well as other utilitarian publications such as flight schedules for Federal Express and rival DHL.
And yet, for all that, O'Neil remains largely below the radar. A showcase of "the world's greatest investors" by SmartMoney magazine, published last August, doesn't mention him, even though the investment gain trumpeted by O'Neil—860% from 1998 through 2005—suggests that he walloped the entire roster of All-Stars.
Indeed, the performance O'Neil touts is about eight times better than that of Warren Buffett, considered by many the world's greatest investor. The Oracle of Omaha, it would seem, has nothing on the Prophet of Playa del Rey.
But if that's true, if Bill O'Neil's stock-picking system is so extraordinary, why do the pundits, polemicists and popular observers of business and finance largely ignore him? Do they know something about O'Neil's methodology that gives them pause? Is it possible that CAN SLIM isn't all it's cracked up to be as a money-making vehicle? Or is it simply that most financial publications don't want to offer up the insights of a competitor, the man behind Investor's Business Daily?
O'Neil is nothing if not self-assured. He maintains that he predicted the market crash of October 1987 and the devastating bear market that began in March 2000. He even says that he would have called Black Tuesday, the infamous crash of '29, had his system been around back then.
However, CAN SLIM doesn't have a formally audited track record to verify O'Neil's investing prowess. So I called my friend Jeffrey Bronchick to see what he thought. Bronchick is the chief investment officer for Reed Conner & Birdwell, a Los Angeles firm that manages nearly $4 billion for its well-heeled clients. His blunt take on CAN SLIM: "Nothing like that has ever been proven—except wrong." Red flag No. 1.
But I also know Bronchick's tendency for hyperbole. And so I asked James J. Cramer, the most omnipresent financial commentator in the media today—as television host of CNBC's "Mad Money," radio host of "RealMoney" and co-founder of TheStreet.com—for his impressions. Given what Bronchick had said, Cramer's response surprised me. He described how he uses Investor's Business Daily for some of his research and, when it comes to CAN SLIM, Cramer said simply: "I can't knock the system."
Now I was truly confused. I decided I'd have to dig deeper myself, sifting through O'Neil's past and into CAN SLIM and the rest of his businesses to determine whether his claims were true.
Like a lot of good stories, this one begins at childhood.
William O'Neil says his father "wasn't in the picture" and that his mother traveled a lot, so it was his grandmother and an aunt who mostly looked after him.
Growing up during the Depression in Oklahoma and Texas, O'Neil said he started working in the third grade. He sold newspapers, took odd jobs. But it doesn't take a degree in psychology to grasp what he then told me: "I read an enormous amount of autobiographies of everybody . . . Richard Sears and Henry Ford and different ones that had been highly successful." In other words, great male figures.
College came next, then a stint in the Air Force. After that, he went out to seek his fortune. "And then I moved to Los Angeles because I thought the future was here," he said.
In quick strokes, I learned that O'Neil began working at a brokerage firm, where he began formulating the investing system that would become CAN SLIM. He eventually struck out on his own, and in 1984 he launched Investor's Business Daily to espouse CAN SLIM's virtues and aggressively market it through seminars. Later, well after the Internet took hold, he began investors.com, widening his reach via the Web.
O'Neil's core belief—the thing he tries to get across above all else—is that you can make money on your own without relying on Wall Street research or professionals. "Anybody can do well in the market," O'Neil said, "if they are willing to sit down and do a little bit of studying, a little bit of homework so they understand what they are dealing with."
Of course, getting to study with the master doesn't come cheap. A CAN SLIM workshop can cost from $179 to $6,995.
And still, there are no guarantees of success. Playing stocks is inherently risky. "There will always be a Home Depot and there will always be professional plumbers," said Bronchick. "If you are doing it yourself, you had better damn well know what you are doing—or you are going to be up to your neck in water."
Over lunch at the Ritz-Carlton in Marina del Rey, I asked O'Neil about this, about risk and the responsibility he has to people who follow his system and take his advice.
First, he said, people need to know that CAN SLIM isn't his system—at least not in one sense. "It wasn't based on what I thought or what I believed or how I thought the market worked," he explained. "What we did is, we said, 'Let's approach it in a scientific way—the way they do scientific medical research.'
"We'll look at every single stock each year—and we went back for quite a number of years—that went up the most. These are stocks that went up 100% to 1,000%. And we looked at what were the characteristics at the beginning point before they went up 100% to 1,000%."
The result was CAN SLIM, which stands for the seven traits that winning stocks have in common. Under O'Neil's rules:
* A company's Current quarterly earnings per share should be up at least 18% year over year.
* Annual earnings should also be up 25% or more for each of the last five years.
* New products and services—not cost cuts—should be fueling earnings growth.
* Supply and demand should reflect smart money coming into a stock, with above-average trading volume while the share price is increasing.
* Only the Leading stock in a leading industry should be bought.
* Institutional ownership, especially from mutual funds with strong performance records, is important.
* Market indexes (the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq) should be enjoying a sustained rise, given that three out of four stocks follow the market's overall direction.
The system goes on to set certain sub-rules and restrictions, and to decipher trading patterns. It talks of "pivot points," when a stock is getting ready to rise. And it employs rules about when to pull the trigger and sell. It is, at its root, a trading philosophy antithetical to that of value investors like Buffett. They believe in gobbling up underpriced stocks—identifying diamonds in the rough, buying them low and selling high. O'Neil, however, believes in buying high and selling higher, a version of an old Wall Street trading strategy known as "momentum investing."
As we chatted about the virtues of CAN SLIM, O'Neil munched on a sandwich. The Ritz is fancy, but neither he nor the two staffers who joined him were. (The extent of O'Neil's personal wealth is a matter of mystery. His colleagues like to speculate about how much he's worth, but O'Neil himself demurs.)
He wore an open-collared blue shirt, chinos and casual shoes. At 72, he is wiry and has wispy white hair. His blue eyes are piercing, and his cragged face denotes a life of intensity. Still, he doesn't come across as a power broker. He is so soft-spoken, it can be difficult to hear him.
His offices, just a few miles away, are low-key, too. Across the country, in New York City, another financial media baron, Michael Bloomberg, has a Lexington Avenue headquarters designed by architect Cesar Pelli. O'Neil's empire is located in an industrial park by a Home Depot. There's no downtown high-rise, no ocean-view executive suite. Windows look on to tar—parking lots, a dead-end street.
About 350 people work there behind locked gates alongside a printing plant and computer center. O'Neil's office is sparse, with right-out-of-Staples furniture, five framed front pages of Investor's Business Daily on the walls and a color photo of him shaking hands with President Reagan.
At lunch, I picked up on something that one of O'Neil's staffers said about Sam Walton, the billionaire founder of Wal-Mart who famously drove around visiting his stores in an old pickup truck. "He uses him as an example," said Kathleen Sherman, who handles public relations for O'Neil. As she made the link, my mind flashed once more on O'Neil's childhood search for male role models.
O'Neil himself drives an older Toyota Landcruiser. It appears out of place behind the gates of his flagstone ranch house, which sits in a tony part of Santa Monica overlooking a golf course. But O'Neil doesn't play. Associates say that he prefers to keep his mind focused on one thing: business.
I hit the button and wait for the e-mail confirmation to arrive. Almost immediately, it's there. I've just purchased 10 shares of EZCorp—EZPW—at $16.49 each.
Now I sit—and watch. If the price goes down 8%, I'm supposed to sell, cutting my losses quickly. The basic rule for selling after a stock goes up is even simpler: Don't.
Later that day, EZCorp, which was rising steadily, begins to fall quickly. I grow anxious. I don't want to have to sell and get out right away with a loss. I try to remember all the CAN SLIM rules: "Be patient." "About 40% of stocks you buy will pull back." But one rule in particular keeps popping into my thoughts: Take the emotion out of it.
That's not quite so easy, though. I think of a book called "Mean Markets and Lizard Brains," by Terry Burnham. It argues that man's yearning to profit is inextricably entwined with the same senses he once used to hunt and gather in prehistoric times.
The way O'Neil sees the world, however, I am supposed to be more evolved, less driven by my gut, less emotional—more like a computer.
In the beginning, in the early 1960s, O'Neil started keystroking data on winning stocks into giant mainframes, and then used the resulting analysis to produce charts—lots and lots of charts.
The charts made it easier to pick out stocks poised to zoom upward (including those whose trading patterns resemble a ladle or a "W"). The process was cumbersome, but large Wall Street institutions such as Dreyfus and Fidelity ate up O'Neil's offerings—his raw facts and figures, and his analysis too.
This is still the business of William O'Neil & Co. today. "I like the massive amounts of fundamental and technical data at my fingertips," said Scott Johnston, who manages stock funds for Sterling Johnston Capital Management in San Francisco.
The computer housing all the historical information is called WONDA, for William O'Neil Direct Access. It is the brains of his business, the command center from which all else flows—data, analysis, charts, graphs and even story ideas for his newspaper, known to many as IBD.
Inside O'Neil's fluorescent-lighted offices last summer, Chris Gessel, IBD's executive editor, pointed to a chart and took me through the process of how a stock pattern leads to a story. He was excited, very excited: "It's a stock . . . that's up . . . 400% . . . over the past two years!"
Admittedly, my reaction was different. Surrounded by this jumble of statistics, I put my pen aside so that I wouldn't stab myself to death out of boredom. Then, suddenly, I blurted out: "Is this really journalism?" Gessel blanched. My words had clearly struck him.
"Absolutely," he answered after a pause. "In some ways it's the purest journalism because it's not reflective of what you think of a stock or a market. Ultimately, this is based on years of research, on what makes the stock market work.
"Unlike my previous experience," added Gessel, a veteran of the Los Angeles Daily News, "what we're doing each day is looking at the market dispassionately."
An ex-colleague described Gessel as an affable guy, a "true believer" in the CAN SLIM system. And from his presentation you can tell that he really thinks this is the best way to cover the world of finance—from the outside in, following the numbers. The 41-year-old is credited with writing "The Big Picture" column in 2000 that called the top of the market and advised people to move into cash.
That's just the kind of prescience that O'Neil was looking for when he started IBD. He says he got into the newspaper business because he was fed up with the media's coverage of the financial markets, and thought he could do better.
At the beginning, critics questioned whether IBD was likely to last very long. "I wouldn't give it a year," William Garrison, a well-respected investment advisor, said in 1984. Today, he concedes, "I've got to eat my words," and he praises the publication for its ubiquitous charts and graphs. He finds the stories less compelling, though, saying that they're "for the birds."
O'Neil makes no apologies for the fact that IBD was hatched to spread the love of CAN SLIM. But Steve Fox, IBD's editor when it hit the newsstands 22 years ago, said that's only part of the equation. It's true, he told me, that O'Neil wanted to market the system. But he also explained that his former boss has "a political point of view and created a vehicle to express that point of view."
O'Neil, a GOP supporter who claims influence with the Bush White House on economic policy, stresses that he doesn't involve himself in editorial affairs. There is no question, however, that IBD serves a decidedly conservative agenda. The newspaper's op-ed page regularly calls for tax cuts and supports racial profiling as a means to combat terrorism.
O'Neil himself expresses strong conservative views in private and even, on occasion, publicly: An open letter from O'Neil that appeared in the New York Times right after 9/11 called on the government to reduce the capital gains tax, lower corporate income taxes, lower interest rates, open up the deep interior of Alaska to oil drilling, and begin funding a missile defense system.
One former employee told me he left IBD when Jesus Christ was featured in the newspaper's "Leaders & Success" column.
Fifteen days have passed since I invested in EZCorp, and the stock is flagging. At one point as I watch, it's off 50 cents a share from the price at which I purchased it. Suddenly, it's down 60 cents.
I really don't want to lose money, even though this is something of an experiment. My investment is a token, but it's still my money. And besides, following EZCorp this closely makes me feel bad and good about myself. Bad when the stock price falls. Good when it goes up. So much for taking the emotion out of it.
I think of other words of advice from O'Neil: "Write it down." He says you're less likely to act out of hope and fear, the two things that drive most investors, if you jot down your own set of rules and what you are doing to abide by them.
I take out a pen and scribble: "Ugh!"
Last summer, I began attending gatherings of O'Neil devotees, eager to see whether any of them had attained the CAN SLIM self-control that I was finding so elusive.
I had already talked to plenty of people who swear by these sessions, known as IBD Meetups. In all, there are 161 of them, with more than 20,000 members in six countries.
My maiden Meetup was held, as it is each month, in a small branch library in Santa Monica. When I walked in around 7 p.m., I was gripped by that first-day-of-school feeling. I had no idea what to expect. Would this be a tight clique? Would I be intruding? What if the discussion became esoteric and highly technical? Would I feel stupid?
I've spent time on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange and nosed around corporate boardrooms. I've sat on trading desks the size of football fields. But this was the proverbial financial Main Street, and that's a whole different thing.
Four long folding tables were arranged in a square in a back room. A blackboard and an audiovisual screen were on hand. As I arrived, some people were yapping about stocks. "I still like Google," said one. "At the right price," chimed in another.
I put my backpack down at the end of the table as Norman Langhout, the meeting's organizer, beckoned everyone to sign in and sit down. "Helloo," he said, trying to get people to pay attention. "Helloo. . . ."
About 30 people had now gathered. Langhout took a show of hands for first-timers; there were four of us. "This style," he said immediately, "is not suitable for everybody. You have to have the right type of temperament." The statement came across as a disclaimer, like one of those warnings in a pharmaceutical ad.
Next, Langhout asked, "How many people subscribe to IBD?" All but one person raised a hand. "It's difficult to participate," Langhout said, "without subscribing."
He looked at his watch and told us that IBD had prepared a call. From the speakerphone in the middle of the table, a deep male voice welcomed us, a little like the Wizard of Oz.
It was Chris Gessel, who proceeded to dispense advice on volatility, trading volume and which stocks looked like they were going to start "breaking out." At the same time, charts depicting these potential winners were displayed on-screen. Gessel then tossed out a few more company names before ending on a bit of a down note: The market, he said, wasn't "showing enough strength or weakness to make money."
After the call ended, Langhout picked up the discussion. He bantered about which stocks were leading the Nasdaq, the Dow, the S&P indexes. Someone asked about Intel, and the man working the audiovisual display pulled up the computer-chip maker's chart.
"Look at that chart. It's going straight up!" said one attendee. "It's beautiful," said another. "How do you play that?" asked a newcomer.
By now I was comfortable enough with the meeting's dynamic to feel a little drowsy. But things soon picked up again when Langhout read off people's stock picks and we all looked at the charts and voted whether to put the candidate on our group's "watch list."
This bred some camaraderie. Even I began to feel chummy with those with whom I agreed. Others razzed the stock picks they didn't care for. It was like "American Idol" for investors. In the end, only three stocks out of 15 made the list.
The meeting broke at 8:55, and Langhout shooed us out with a final "helloo!"
Over the next several months, I faithfully attended the Meetups in Santa Monica.
I got to know doctors, engineers, mortgage brokers and tech executives. Most of the people were in their 50s, suburban middle-management types. More than one clipped his pen to the front pocket of his shirt.
One night, Peter Umbrich, then a day trader who was also selling subscriptions to IBD on the side, called me over. He was eager to tell me how the CAN SLIM system really works. It's great, he said. But it isn't easy to make money.
He noted that CAN SLIM calls for patience and for investors to buy only at the most opportune moment. In the real world, though, "human nature tends to get in the way," Umbrich said.
O'Neil has written a book, "The Successful Investor," to lay down more rules and provide "realistic" help in today's stock market. Put another way: He wants to help take more of the emotion out of stock trading. "All these mistakes with the system is just human nature on parade," he said. "Don't deal in personal opinion. Stick with the system."
But Sia Shahsavari, another Meetup attendee, has his doubts. CAN SLIM now has "so many rules," he said, "I don't think any human can follow it."
Or, as Tom Lydon, an investment professional in Huntington Beach, asserted: "O'Neil's system over time does a tremendous job, if only because of the amount of research." But what percentage of CAN SLIM users are equipped to follow the discipline O'Neil demands? How many people can really take all that time out of their busy lives—when they've got to get to work, drive the kids to soccer, make dinner—to perch themselves in front of the screen and pore over stock charts?
Not enough. "That," Lydon said, "is where people fall short."
I am sitting again in front of the computer, rooting for my stock as if it's a racehorse. It's no use: EZCorp continues to flag, and I feel lousy. Dejected.
A few days later, though, EZCorp begins to turn up. And up.
And that's when it hits me: CAN SLIM can be a gold mine—as long as you can steadfastly follow the rules. A computer can do it. WONDA can. Humans, however, are emotional.
I keep repeating the O'Neil mantra: Remove the emotion from decisions. Remove the ego from your behavior. Be successful.
There's nothing wrong with any of those things. They're even admirable traits. But they are difficult to live up to—like a father's expectations.
Some do.
I can't. I don't.
Finally, after about six weeks, I dump my shares of EZCorp at $15.87. I wind up recovering most of my investment given the recent uptick in the stock, but still I come out behind. Overall, my loss amounts to $6.20; thank God I didn't buy more shares.
I was supposed to have sold earlier, violating O'Neil's rule of "stop loss." But I was away from my computer, being human. I also could have gotten back in and lapped up more shares, catching that tricky "double bottom" chart pattern. Yet I didn't want to continue to somnolently stare at my computer all day, every day.
In the end, CAN SLIM proved just too rigorous to stick with over time. In that way, it is like a diet technique after all.

1. It's important to have a woman who helps at home, who cooks from time to time, cleans and has a job.
2. It's important to have a woman who can make you laugh.
3. It's important to have a woman who you can trust and who doesn't lie to you.
4. It's important to have a woman who is good in bed and who likes to be with you.
5. It's very, very important that these four women don't know each other.

This is an ema Ribbon chart for the Naz Bullish Percent Index(BPI)...At least that's what I call it.
Notice how there are large moves when the ribbon appears to turn over...compare that to the Naz Composite. Nothing's perfect, but the BPI is one of my fave market direction indicators.
When the 10sma crossed the 50sma early last week(see a couple of posts ago right here for Friday's chart I posted...I became extremely cautious. Also the Nas 20 ema was at about 2278 pre-m today...we peeked through it but I'd say that are provides at least medium resistance...Doug(IIC)

This Bud's For You
Anheuser-Busch Upped To Peer Perform At Bear Stearns >BUD
Bear Stearns upgraded brewer Anheuser-Busch Co. (BUD), which makes Budweiser and Bud Light beer, to peer perform from underperform.
The broker said it is encouraged by recent brand acquisitions and positive volume trends.
Bear Stearns said it has seen a positive reaction to Anheuser-Busch's Budweiser Select brand, and added the recently inked deals to import Asia Pacific Breweries Ltd.'s flagship Tiger Beer, among others, will help support volume and pricing during a period of relatively weak pricing for domestic brands.

Geez...I'm out all day and somebody lets the Naz blow out resistance(2279ish)...Well, I don't know about it being a blow out but I'm a tad surprised...We close at about next level resistance which I had pegged at 2294 last night. Some say the 10 yr Note Yield was the cause...If so, I'd say it may be a short-lived move...although strongest resistance is about 2332 the high level of the range we've been in for the past 2 months. But my overall intermediate term outlook is bearish.

I'm not an expert...but I have followed it (Inflow/outflow)to help determine market direction for a few years now...Basically, I believe the Government with the help of banks contol the markets...These short term deals(Repos) allow them to maintain liquidity and control. It is very important to keep a balance...Otherwise the markets could get out of control FAST....Try to determine what the market does as more $$$ are added...it goes up...But many of these deals are only overnight...so it is more important to watch the trend of the $$$ the government puts in...or holds back.

Thanks for your input IIC. I just don’t know what to make out of the chart. One thing is for sure it is in a up trend. Looking at the chart I notice it has had some spikes over the last several sessions. I just don’t have a clear picture on it….

SIRI up over 7.5% this AM! I put a buy post up on them earlier this AM.
CROX has been beaten back from their IPO price, and is now looking good. At 24 and change, you can expect to see 30 sometime down the road. I went in last week at 22.75 to increase my position. I now have a cost basis of 25.40, below where it is now trading, but I remain bullish on them.
NOK, even near the 52 week high, I think you can reasonably expect to see $25 in the 3rd quarter. For the option players, the APR 20 and 22.50 calls are priced nice.
I am long in SIRI and CROX, and do not have an interest in NOK, at this time.

Nice call. I like Real Media for a short term play. I had it on the radar last week, but posted CKCM instead. CKCM pulled back a little on Friday, and is now up close to 10% on today's session.
Real Media is sitting on top of its' 52 week high right now, at $9.80. My gut tells me if we get back to 10, again today or tomorrow, that we will see 11, sooner than later.
The heavy volume is actually in our favor today, bouying the momentum for this gem.
Patience will pay off in spades here.

It's just a matter of time now, for 11 to creep in. The 9.80-10.00 range was nothing more than a psychological level that needed to be touched and re-touched to give the Nervous Nellies out there with the clay feet some confidence they need to stay the course for the next buck.
Wet Seal. What can I say? I missed the boat entirely on this one! It's still not too late to capture some of the upward movement which should continue right through spring. I had these guys on my list in January. I was watching them through the low to mid 4's. On January 25th, I had a day order with a 4.29 limit to buy 1500 shares. It didn't go off, and the day's low was 4.31, 2 lousy cents! Two days later, I pull it up and it's at $5.50!
I've had a $5.05 GTC limit in ever since, and it hasn't even tempted that number. At the time, I was looking at it for a hold, expecting to see 6.40-6.50 by late June for a 50% return.
I need to go back and re-crunch and re-affirm my numbers, but without looking back, I am sure that 6.05-6.25 is on the near horizon.
One word of caution: They are in the middle of shuffleing some top management slots. I doubt that will have an adverse effect on same store sales numbers, but could cause some young buck covering them (analyst) to issue a neutral, which could cause an un-necessary stall out.
WRSLA is a fav with the institutional players in the retail sector. Be wary of the June window dressing phenomenon

If you like Transmeta (TMTA), take a look at API. I would be wary of NYNY, but along that line, CTRP and LVS are in much better shape for steady growth.
REDF is a strong company that I have as a long term hold. I Was in in the high teens (18 and change) and got out at 32.88 (I only had it a few weeks), and got back in recently at 23.90, and am looking for that 30 mark by the fall. This is one that, if you take, should be backburnered for a while. India is hot, and this will pay off for the patient players.
Watch your back with Healthways. The quick run up on thin volume could set up for some mid-morning profit taking.
DISCLOSURE: I am long in REDF,MSPD, PD and LVS. I do not have an interest in the others.

I do link to the Sharp Charts gallery page, expand the period to 1 year, and also look at the P&F chart.
I also connect to Yahoo Financial and take a look at some fundamental information.
Thanks for taking the time to post the information.
I plan to continue looking at them for awhile.

The lists are not recommendations...The Killer Lists meet my own criteria for stocks that may go up...But I have a price/volume action point on each.
The MoMo Lists are simply a mechanical scan...then I look at the charts to see if any meet my criteria for the the Killer Lists...few do.
As far as http://Trimurl.com ...I own it w/ a partner. We set it up so people could hyperlink those looooooong url's that cannot be completely hyperlinked on many forums. All you do is copy your loooooong url ....go to the site...paste it in the box ...click submit and we convert your url to a short one that will hyperlink anywhere. You copy and paste the short url on your post.
Handy little service. There are others that do the same thing though...Thanks, Doug(IIC)

IIC, just a suggestion, If your hit rate is over 60% on your picks then what would happen if you purchased all of them with smaller amounts of money? Might have some diversification and a nice basket of stocks. Since using smaller amount of shares you can loosen your stops. Not sure how this would work but might be worth investigating.

I don't think that would be a very good idea. I've been running this list for over a month...only been posting it for a couple weeks though. Still needs work. On the weekends I come up with more because I run additional scans and I have more time. Last weekend I came up with 58 stocks...I split them into "A" and "B" lists...63% of them ended grren for the week. But let's take an example...AOM was on the list...there was never a time during the week that it looked good.
Anyway...these are just stocks that I think will move...some never will...I would wait to see which ones are acting right. Some go down immediately and keep going down. Some don't act right at all.
Another thing...I'm tracking the A/D/U vs. the previous day's close rather than the morning open...Some will gap at the open then reverse and never come back.
But overall, I like this list better than the DT lists I set up for myself because the Killer Lists tend to be less volatile...overall.
I think concentrating on the few that really act right would be a better idea....thx...Doug

Dang...while running some scans this morn I realized that I really meant MSCC...woulda been 18 up 2 dn.
Doug,
I noticed that in recent weeks (since ~2/06/06) there are less stocks contained in both the IIC100 and the IBD 100. At first there seemed to be ~26-28 stocks that overlapped but recently the average looks <20. Is this coincidence or is there a reason for this change i.e. different scan parameters

Yes...in fact I commented on that last week...but it was on another forum. Besides the fact that the Combo List has been shrinking...The number of stocks under $15 on the IIC 100 has more than doubled in recent weeks from a normal ~15 to 33 this week. I believe IBD has a $15 minimum whereas I don't.
I would attribute this to the smaller caps outperforming this year. Notce that the RUT is +11.66% vs. SP 500 +4.29%. The Naz is up a little over 4% and the SP Mid Cap 400 is +6.5% (I am using the open on 1/3 rather than the year-end close to calculate these %'s). Perhaps IBD is not as interested in the smaller caps?
Also, I have not changed my criteria...But maybe they have???
Another thing has been happening too...Normally, I get about 140-150 stocks when I scan for the IIC 100...Not long ago I was getting over 180. But this week only turned up 119...last week 112 and the week prior only 115. This got me to thinking...If I get under 100(Which has never happened since I started this list in October 2004)...What do I do? I could loosen the parameters I guess. The alternative would be to have less than 100 stocks...But the IIC 97 doesn't have much of a ring to it.
Thanks for the comments...Best, Doug(IIC)
