We would like to WELCOME you to The Delphi Canslim Investment discussion group.
If you decide to join us, be advised that we have a very large table that is capable of hosting quite a number of CANSLIM investors. We would look forward to your participation in our discussions.
So what would be different about joining this group as opposed to any other "CANSLIM-type" cyber group? Quite a bit, we think.
First off we are a sharing group who freely offer opinions and work efforts with one another. We give freely with the hope and expectation that others will do likewise after they reach a comfort level for doing so. Many of the folks gathered here use a variety of CANSLIM tools, i.e.: IBD, HGSI Software from Indusry Monitors, Daily Graphs, Telescan, WIN, Signal, AIQ, Super Charts, Trade Station, and many others. We search the web for information on ways to improve our knowledge and techniques and bring these items back for others to know of.
While we are serious about investing, we also are serious about enjoying the collegiality of all who are in our group. We have no "cliques", save those that choose not to participate in the discussions.
Bob Klasky, produces each Sunday an IBD Industry Group ranking spread sheet, which many of us update from his posts. This invaluable tool allows us to view the "movement" of Industry Groups from one week to the next over an extended period of time. In spite of the "reported" perversion that Paul and Bob have of meeting in a Nude Chicken Bar somewhere in NJ to discuss findings of the latest Daily Graphs, we overlook this eccentricity on both their parts, as we seldom convene the entire group at such an establishment. Frankly most of us really can not imagine the intrigue of a Nude Chicken. (FWIW Mr. Horan is talking about the Philadelphi Area Canslim Group which meets in a Gentlemen's Club every month to discuss market tops and double bottoms.....Like he's never been there...ed.)
We have representatives from the South Florida area. Some we're willing to acknowledge and claim knowing and some we would rather not. One who falls into one of those afore mentioned groups is John Stimpson, who come to think of it, contributes little of worth. It's just that he is so filthy wealthy after running around Solomon Bros. a century or so ago, we keep hoping we can gather a clue as to how we can attain just a small portion of his wealth, when we grow up to be his age. Perhaps his greatest benefit to the group is announcing his many traveling trips in advance. When he travels, we generally all go deep into the margin account on the "long" side.
Of course we all look forward to the all too infrequent drop-in's from the renown Pat Woodward's husband, Ian.. Ian has taken to the tour circuit attired in his freshly pressed purple tights, singing his latest hit in his best George Jones style, "From A Surrogate Group Up Above". When he does return home, much to Pat's dismay, he sometimes blesses us with an appearance on the BB. Thank God that we don't gather in a video conference setting...yet. There's just so much intolerance of those purple tights.
If you can manage to get past the character perversions of the above mentioned cast, you will be rewarded by the many others who put forth their quality wisdom. Your only remaining hurdle, and it is a large one, will be to avoid HIM. HIM is the Butkus. We are tolerant, to a point , of HIS carrying on. In spite of the egocentric excesses of a DAMN CAT, we are able to gather some small benefit. On Sunday a.m., after HIS post Breakfast nap and just before HIS Pre-Lunch nap, HE can do some spread sheet work on our behalf. You'll find a weekly posting of the Top ERG list, which HE filters from the Nasdaq Daily Graphs. This would be a list of Nasdaq stocks with EPS = 80+, RS = 85+, GRS = 80+, $10+, ADV = 75,000+, Accum/Dist = A or B. When we're lucky HE will also produce the Box #7 (Turn around stocks) List on occasion. When we're real lucky, HE'll just go back to sleep.
Rules? We got some.
We hope, if you are CANSLIM investor, you will decide to spend some time at our table and share our fare. We will look forward to any and all contributions you might care to place on the table. Should you have any problems navigating your way to our destination please feel free to call Paul "collect" after midnight at 1-800-LOT ASNO (He gets lonely on top of his mountain) or send him an email at his net address which you'll find elsewhere on this URL.
