William@CANSLIM ResearchNothing to do today. One hundred fifteen names scanned, and not a single one earned a place on my buy list. That’s the market telling you the easy money isn’t there right now. If you’re forcing trades just to feel active, you’re already breaking the first rule. Patience is a position. The next real leader will show up with volume and a proper base—until then, cash is your best holding.

Today’s dual scan surfaced 115 candidates (actionable 0, watch 0, avoid 115). Market regime: Confirmed Uptrend. Published 2026-09-09 09:18.
The Market Comes First
The tape reads Confirmed Uptrend. I never fight the general market — three out of four stocks follow it. I only put money to work when the market is in a confirmed uptrend; when distribution stacks up or a correction sets in, I raise cash and wait. No individual chart is good enough to override that.
How I Screen — My Rules, Not Opinions
| Rule | Threshold | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Quarterly EPS YoY | ≥ 25% | current earnings power (C) |
| RS Rating | ≥ 80 | buy leaders, not laggards (L) |
| Price | ≥ $15 | avoid low-priced stocks |
| Trend | above 50 & 200-day MA | buy only in an uptrend |
| Entry window | buy point to +5% | never chase extended (N) |
| Reward/Risk | ≥ 3:1 | 8% stop vs ~25% target |

Nothing to Buy Today
Not one name earned a buy under my rules today. That is a decision, not a failure: in a hostile or extended market the money you don’t lose is what matters.
