           Jason D’Amore
           Jason works in the Meetup Development Department after first working in
           customer service. He says that listening to the weekly IBD radio show
           helped cement a lot of the CAN SLIM principles, particularly when he was
           first learning the system.
             Besides working with IBD Meetup Groups, Jason helped on the week-
           ends at several of IBD ’s educational workshops. “This gave me the oppor-
           tunity to listen to some of IBD ’s best speakers, such as Justin Nielsen and
           Scott O’Neil,” he says. “Both of these speakers have worked very closely
           with William O’Neil, so listening to their insights on his investing successes
           was extremely exciting and helped me understand CAN SLIM on a deeper
           level.
             “Lululemon was my first successful stock trade,” Jason says. “It had
           formed a three-weeks-tight pattern (which is when a stock closes three
           weeks in a row with less than a 1% closing price change on each of those
           weeks). I first became aware of Lululemon from listening to the IBD radio
           show and bought the stock as it came out of an area of consolidation. I had
           conviction in the stock because I had visited one of their stores and was
           impressed with the quality of the merchandise.”
