William@CANSLIM ResearchOne hundred forty-six names scanned and not a single one actionable — that tells you more about discipline than about the market. The regime is a confirmed uptrend, but two names on watch and 144 to avoid means most of what’s moving is either extended or broken, and I don’t pay up for either. A confirmed uptrend doesn’t obligate you to buy something; it just means the odds favor breakouts when they come correctly, on volume, out of sound bases. The two on watch go on the list, and I wait for them to prove themselves. Cash is a position, and today it’s the right one.

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.
