Thanks - I like it.

I like the last rule which essentially says "make your own rules". I've sort of been doing that lately.

I like the section in Cramer's book where he talks about having a set of rules and the disapline to stick to them. I sold a stock yesterday that I've almost become emotionally attached to because it broke one of my rules. It's paid off well. I'll find out in the next week or 2 if i was right to offload it now.

does can slim work?
i breifly read their can slim article. has anyone applied their formula?

Rule #5 goes in the face of Cramers long time strategy of averaging down on weakness. I've never agreed with it, and don't plan on trying it anytime soon.

Rule #20 is where I've made most of my money.
