The top-8 stocks, ranked by 5-yr Revenue Growth Rate are:
Top of the list was Trina Solar (TSL), followed by Entropic Communications (ENTR), Diversifax (GFRE) and Advanced Battery Technologies (ABAT).
Of the charts, ABAT has managed to break from a $3.80-4.20 handle in a steady advance off $3.10 lows. ENTR is nicely consolidating around $9.00 with support at $7.50. GFRE having dashed from a low of $6.50 in September to a peak at $11.00 in early November has coiled around $10.50 (but is trading at $10.16 in early morning trading - is it breaking down?). TSL is toying with support at $22 but is well off its high, despite topping the 5-year Revenue Growth Rate.
With Alerts, you can address the "S" in CANSLIM by building a volume Alert which will trigger whenever any of the stocks in your list trade on heavier volume.
Remember, when building an Alert on your CANSLIM screen you need to select for the stock list under Fundamental System name from the Stocklist menu.
From there, when you get a volume Alert for a stock from the CANSLIM screen you can check it's performance in Charts, compare it to an index and view accumulation/distribution. Alternatively, you view all stocks in your Fundamental System list by selecting your stocklist in Charts Multiview.
