More Basic Sell Rules
8. Certain-teed Eight Week Hold – If a stock advances 20% or more in three
weeks or less then hold it for a eight full weeks and reevaluate. If it is
kept beyond that we need special sell rules for stocks with big profit
cushions. This is the Certain-teed rule. See HTMMIS page 258 the last
paragraph. See 8-Week Hold Rule Details Ahead.
9. Rules Only – Never sell a stock unless it triggers a specific sell rule and
always note it. 24 ELFSI, Lesson #3, Page 13-16
10. If a stock is surging up well above the 10-day line when it reaches +25%
profit goal, and SR #14 time goal, and if it has been generally above the
10-day line during its advance, and handily clears the +25% profit goal
price, then you may apply the rule to extend the 25% gain using the 10-
day violation guideline. (See Applying the Profit Extension Guidelines
below.)
11. Portfolio Management – If the portfolio is drawn down by 4% (No
Margin) to 8% (Full Margin) overall from the prior week, sell all of a stock
that is trading below the buy price, or has gone weak and changed
character, or sell the stock up the least; or pick at least one position. If
the drawdown continues after that, then trim the least performing
stocks first to reduce exposure. Also sell the least performing stock to
raise cash if needed to buy other stocks; or reduce margin use if you are
nervous and unsure, sell rule #13.
93
Certain-teed Eight-Week Hold Rule Details
SI Page 76 Last Paragraph
• If a stock is up ≥ 20% in ≤ 3 Weeks, then hold the stock for eight full weeks and then
reevaluate. This advance should be from a base or consolidation breakout, or in may
be from a bounce off the 10-week line near a base. The stock may have been bought
there, or before, or even after. The first week is the breakout week. Hold to near the
Friday close of the 8th week.
• The stock should be up 20% solidly, preferably closing a day up 20%. Signs of
significant institutional accumulation must be clear; big volume.
• The market should be strong bull, earlier in an advance rather than later, generally in
the first 18 months after the last bear market correction. The stock should have top
CAN SLIM fundamentals, top sponsorship, high ROE, leading a top group/sector.
• This is applied to 1st and 2nd stage bases. You have the option to apply it to later stage
bases, but this has more risk.
• Once a stock is up 20% and on the 8-week hold rule, set the minimum sell floor at just
break even. Never let it round turn into a loss. HTMMIS, Page 271
• As the stock advances so that it is 25% above cost begin moving the sell floor up a
percent at a time, to first 2% above cost then 3%. See the table in the next slide.
• During the eight weeks the other sell rules are suspended.
• Hold to nearly the Friday close of the eighth week and reevaluate looking at the
weekly chart. May even hold for the weekend to reevaluate

More Basic Sell Rules
22. Select one in five to one in three stocks to hold for long

to hold stocks longer than the standard profit goal.
• Stock should have many characteristics of a “Big Stock” or
“Model Stock.” (See Sell Rule #8, Certain-teed Exception.)
• Until the stock is up 50% (Big cushion trigger) , it can be
manage using normal sell rules, but widen decline from the
peak to 16% or more.
• Depending on the 10-week moving average it may be
transitioned to the “Big Cushion” sell rules sooner than waiting
for it to be up 50%.
