What is CANSLIM investing?
As per Investing.com CANSLIM is a system for selecting growth stocks by using a combination of fundamental and technical analysis techniques. It was created by Investor’s Business Daily founder William J. O’Neil.
CANSLIM strategy was taken from William O’Neil, the creator of Investor’s Business Daily, in his book How to Make Money in Stocks.
The CANSLIM strategy’s goal is to identify promising stocks before they experience significant price increases. These pre-advance phases, which typically take the form of a “cup-with-handle” chart pattern for a minimum of seven weeks on weekly price charts, are “buy points” for stocks as they emerge from price consolidation zones (or “bases”)
With no exclusions, the method strongly recommends cutting all losses at a price that is no more than 7% or 8% below the buy point in order to reduce losses and protect gains. The book claims that investing in shares of strong companies should generally reduce the likelihood of having to cut losses because strong companies—those with good current quarterly earnings-per-share growth, annual growth rate, and other strong fundamentals—tend to soar rather than decline during bull markets.
O’Neil recommends that you must employ the entire method and not just the parts you like.
The acronym is sometimes written as CAN SLIM.

N – new product, service, or management
A competent management team that has just been engaged, new goods, or services should all be driving the stock price and favorably benefiting the company’s future.
S – supply and demand

Does the can slim method work?
Since 2003, the CANSLIM technique has consistently outperformed the S&P 500, but at a cost: extreme volatility and significant drawdowns. Given that CANSLIM favors small-cap stocks, the outperformance may as well be attributable to the long-term small-cap bias: Small-cap stocks have outperformed large-cap stocks over several decades, most likely because they have a longer runway.
