Hi Hitesh,
Another couple of generic questions.

1. I read in a book that Consolidation/Breakout and other technicals only work during a roaring bull market & most setups will fail in a Bear Market & one should use a Bear Markets to identify potential leaders that could lead when the tides turn.
   If you agree, I Just wanted to understand what is your way of thinking during this prolonged period of dullness. Do you still scan charts, if so instead of looking for breakouts/patterns do you now focus on potential leaders when the tide turns i.e., the strength of certain stocks as against the indexes, sound bases, etc?

2. Aside, you mentioned before that you go through 100s stock charts to identify winners, just wanted to know if there is a scan or filter you put to weed out a few 100s out of the thousands. Is this filter purely technical (e.g. RSI) or do you start with some fundamental filters e.g. Quater on quarter EPs growth?
