- Accelerating Growth... It's good to find companies whose EPS are growing at a healthy pace. It's even better to find companies whose growth rates are accelerating. This screen focuses on firms whose results are growing at an increasingly rapid clip.
- Relative Growth... The Accelerating EPS Growth screen seeks companies whose recent growth rates that exceeded the rates tallied over past periods. This screen, however, considers acceleration, but also introduces other comparisons. It compares EPS growth to Sales growth. And it looks for growth that exceeds industry averages.
- Relative Momentum... At times, momentum investing gets hot. This screen searches for stocks that have been beating their industry peers by wide margins in terms of price performance and sales growth.
- Rising Expectations... There are many things you could look at when evaluating a stock. And chances are that the company scored well on all, or at least a sufficient number, of these considerations if brokerage house analysts are raising estimates to try to catch up to companies that habitually outperform consensus expectations.
- Sales Growth... Whatever our individual investment philosophies, we all know that ultimately, stock prices are tied to company bottom line performances. And the most fundamental way for a company to generate a healthy bottom line is to flourish on the top line.
- Contrarian... Many investors like to buy stocks that are going up. And momentum players have made a lot of money doing this. But they've also lost a lot at times, and missed other opportunities. Sometimes, you simply have to focus on good companies and not worry if the stock has, in the short term, been moving the wrong way.
- Favored Value... Many investors believe that the only good values out there are to be found among stocks Wall Street rejects or ignores. That's not so. This screen helps you find reasonable value plays that are well regarded by the investment community.
- Reasonable Price... Investors who want to buy shares of rapidly growing companies often find it necessary to accept steep P/E multiples. Other investors who are determined to purchase only reasonably-priced stocks often find themselves looking at relatively unexciting companies. Growth at a Reasonable Price (GARP) is an approach that reconciles both dilemmas.
- Income Stocks... Dividends, the mainstay of stock valuation, were out of fashion for a long time. But they are coming back into favor now. But that doesn't mean all income stocks are created equally. This screen targets some of the better opportunities in this group.
- Relative Value... Relative value assumes the marketplace sets prices in such a way that similar assets have similar valuations. It assumes that anomalies will eventually be corrected by a decline in the price of an excessively valued asset, or a rise in the price of an undervalued asset.
- Fast Turnover... All else being equal, the higher the margins, the better the company. But all else is rarely equal. Turnover can help you uncover attractive companies others might brush aside because of low margins.
- Industry Leaders... What's a good profit margin? How much debt is too much? How high a growth rate should you expect? Often, the best way to answer such questions is to compare an individual company to others in the same industry. This screen is a cross comparison focusing on company-to-industry match-ups.
- ROI... Momentum, which means buying what's hot, plays a big role in today's stock market. But we've all heard the virtues of investing for the long-term. Even so, it's hard to invest when you suspect your new stock may not blast off overnight. You can use Return on Investment as an important indicator to determine whether or not a particular company merits patience. "Return on Investment" is a more pure measure of management's success in operating the business. "Investment" is defined as equity plus all long-term liabilities (mainly, long-term debt).
- Strong Operating Margins... Margins tell you how many cents out of each sales dollar are left, after expenses, as profit. That's the easy part. The hard part is deciding which margins you should look at. Gross margins? Pretax margins? Net margins? EBITD margins? This screen is based on strength in Operating margins.
- Analyst Favorites... You can follow analyst recommendations or chart your own course. But it's hard to deny that the recommendations influence stock price performance, at least over the near term. Here's what the brokerage house analysts like now.
- High P/E... This P/E-oriented "Best In Class" screen really is designed to seek stocks selling at high multiples, not low ones. This screen is designed to draw stocks from a variety of groups using high P/E multiples as an indicator of favorable expectations.
- Insider Buying... Corporate insiders presumably have good information on company prospects. So when they buy shares of their own companies, the investment community would do well to take notice.
- Institutional Ownership... Institutional investors tend to be diligent and sophisticated, so their interest in the stocks you are considering is a nice confirmation that you've done your homework properly. But high levels of institutional ownership would mean that you are late getting to the party. This screen uncovers stocks that strike a balance between these considerations.
- Lessor Known... With so much information so readily available nowadays, it's getting harder to uncover interesting investment ideas that haven't already been discovered by the crowd. But it can still be done.

...Yahoo.com...
- % Not Short... Ranks by the percentage of a stock's float that is not short traded. Stocks with the least shares traded short are ranked the highest.
- % Insiders... This reports the percentage of a stock's float owned by insiders and >5% owners.
- Earnings Estimate Percentage Growth... These 5 Ranks are the consensus estimates for earnings growth in percentage across 5 time frames... this quarter, next quarter, this year, next year and next 5 years.
- Institutional % Shares... Ranks by the percentage of a stock's outstanding shares that are owned by institutions.
- Price/Sales Ratio... Price/Sales ratio is the company's price divided by its total sales for the last 12 months. Generally speaking, a company trading at a PSR of less than 1 should attract your attention. If a company has sales of $1 billion but a market value of $900 million, it has a PSR of 0.9. That means you can buy $1 of its sales for only 90 cents. There may be plenty else wrong with the company to justify such a low price (like maybe it's losing money), but that's not always the case. It might just be an overlooked bargain.
- Float... Reports a stock's float, in millions of shares.
- EPS... Reports the actual Earnngs Per Share (EPS) for this qtr, this year and next year.
- % from 52-Week High... Percentage the current price is from the stock's 52-week high.

- Forward P/E...Price/earnings ratio, using earnings estimates for the next four quarters.

- Earnings/Share...Adjusted Income Available for the trailing 12 months divided by the trailing 12 month weighted average shares outstanding.
- PEG...Forward-looking measure rather than typical earnings growth measures, which look back in time. Used to measure a stock's valuation against its projected growth rate. Calculated as P/E Ratio divided by 5-yr expected growth rate.
- 1 Month %...Returns the percentage performance of the most recent 30 days.
- Market Cap(mil)...Returns the company Market Cap, in millions.
- Resistance, Pivot and Support...Resistance, Pivot and Support. Pivot points are used by floor traders to help identify trading levels during the day. They're based on the previous day's High, Low and Close prices. Prices will commonly swing between two layers of upper Resistance and lower Support levels. The Resistance and Support levels used here in TickeRank are the 2nd level, farthest away from the pivot point. It's said when these levels are broken through,outside traders are coming in and a short-term trend is in the making. The number that TR reports is the percentage plus or minus the current price (15 min delayed) is from the Rank in question. For example, if the Support Rank reports +3, it means the current price is 3% above the Support level. If it's -3 then it's below. Along with showing levels of individual stocks, these can be used to accurately gauge intra-day market direction. For example, run the Rank on the DOW 30 stocks, and look at the average Rank reported under the Rank Value column in the Results tab. If the average is closely approaching (negative value) or has crossed (positive value) Resistance, you know the market is moving.

- Performance Rank... Risk-adjusted return ranking of a stock. We examine the past two years of data and calculate the annualized return. Then we measure the stock's susceptibility to downside market action and penalize the return if the stock exhibits greater than normal downside volatility. For example, a stock that rose in a straight line at a 15% annualized rate would rate higher than a stock that rose at a 15% rate but covered a great deal of ground doing so.

...RickGrades.com...
- RiskRanking... A standardized measure of volatility. RiskGrades capture all components of market risk: equity, interest rate, currency, and commodity risk. It operates differently from traditional risk measures, such as beta, standard deviation, and average shortfall. RiskGrades are indicators of risk based on the volatility of returns. In TickeRank, the higher the value, the less risky it should be. The TickeRank value is the percentage of stocks with a higher RiskRanking than the stock in question, so a ticker with a value of 90 means that 90% of all stocks have a higher risk.
- Win/Loss Streak... This Rank gets the largest Win and Loss percentage over a three month period over the life of the stock, then reports the difference between them. The range is -100 to +100. For example, if the Win value is 90% and the Loss value is 50%, the final Rank value would be +40. Conversely, if Win is 10% and Loss is 80%, the final value would be -70. The stocks with the highest value have had the largest 3 month historical upside movement with minimal downside movement.

The index will be higher for stocks that are moving up on increasing volume, and can be an indication of significant buying activity.

For example, if a stock has increased in price for that month in 6 of the last twelve years, the Rank Value would be 50, or 50%.
