What screener to use?

My personal favorite is one that was created by Dr. Stephen Cooper
Using the Investors Business Daily (IBD) and a few key criteria to choose which stocks are doing fundamentally very well.

Currently I use the Options Xpress screener and I will go into detail on how I use it in a future post.

Here is a list of screeners available on the internet - by no means is it a complete list just some of the more popular ones. Most of the have pre-screens which are screens that are very popular and used by a lot of traders and investors to pick stocks.

Stock Charts
Yahoo Screener
MSN Money

and of course Big Charts under the Big Reports link.

These are just the most popular free ones. There are many more paid for screeners but I will warn you that many of them that proclaim to be the little black box screener will work for only certain market conditions and then they fail. I stick with the free screeners and learn how to use them.

More on this later.
