1521.7% versus the S&P 500 gain of 54.92% from 1998 through December

continues to outperform. The CAN SLIM System is based on the seven
performance traits the biggest stock leaders exhibit prior to a big
price move.

   IBD Markets Writer Kate Stalter states, "CAN SLIM Investing works
in all market conditions because it's based on following the lead of
the general market. Investors have done very well with The CAN SLIM
System, because it draws from historical precedents, not guesswork.
The CAN SLIM guidelines are what will help investors spot the emerging
growth stocks faster." Stalter also mentions that IBD's Daily Stock

signals.
