Hello, All,

My project of reviewing charts on all of my currently-held positions goes well, and I think I'm learning a lot just forcing myself to look at charts.  I have noticed one thing however.

Most of the companies that I own are wonderful, solid companies, but they have all experienced fantastic Stage 2 runs, and are either back in Stage 2 after a Stage 3 Base, or currenly in Stage 3.  So my quesion is, how do I find a few of these companies BEFORE that initial Stage 2 run?  Is it just that, where the market is now, after an historic bull run (with a barely-noticed Bear Market in the middle of it), that they are few and far between?  Can anyone share any tips or secrets to screen and find some of the companies earlier in their journey so to speak (without spending 10 hours a day looking at hundreds of charts).  What I don't want to pick on Isa, but what type of screener is he using to find the breakouts that he's posting (I suppose I could just limit my investing to those--he's kind enough to post them for us) ;-).  Seriously, though, how would you go about setting up watch lists or screens of companies that are most likely to break out?  I'd love to hear some thoughts on this!

Thanks!

Tom
