William@CANSLIM ResearchNothing actionable today. One name on the watch list, but it hasn’t earned a dime of my capital until it breaks out on volume at least 40% above average. The other 116 are either too extended, too weak, or simply not showing the institutional accumulation I demand. This is the test of discipline—the market gives you nothing, so you do nothing. Patience is a position. When the real leader appears, I’ll be ready to act, not react.

Today’s dual scan surfaced 117 candidates (actionable 0, watch 1, avoid 116). Market regime: Confirmed Uptrend. Published 2026-09-10 05:30.
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

|---|---|---|
| Quarterly EPS YoY | ≥ 25% | current earnings power (C) |

| 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.
