Abstract
Investor's Business Daily has advocated the CAN SLIM investment strategy since the 1980s. Unlike traditional long term, buy and hold portfolio strategies, CAN SLIM advocates an active management style. This paper examines the use of a simplified version to test for effective and profitable investment possibilities. The results indicate that an average investor with little or no analytical capabilities can outperform a buy and hold strategy in the S&P 500 Index. The simplified system outperformed the S&P 500 Index by .82% per month for the period 2001 through 2012. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
