Free Stock Ratings ?

[billyjoe]

I'm looking for any free internet sites that rate stocks by a number rating : such as stockscouter (1-10) or by a percentage like barchart (100% buy) or any other means . There's got to be more sites out there. Thanks

Here is one that gives buy/sell/hold recs based on recent candlestick action:

this is a test, this is only a test, if this had been...

Here is one...

It's pretty tough to make a 51% or better on this stockodds website. I went through a long list of stocks that I follow and put most of them through the test. These are the ones that came back at 51% (positive price action ahead) or better and their rankings:

DCAI 60
TWLL 58
DWA 57
MSB 54
JST 53
INTL 52
NMHC 51
SPWR 51
VVI 51

Anyone else find some that are above 51% ??? I'd like to see how many we can get and then test them this week. I'll set up a Yahoo! portfolio of them with Monday's opening price. This should be a good test of this system. Please include the ranking so that I can keep them in order.

Thanks for participating, EVERYONE!!!

short candidates

Well now, if the market turns bearish, perhaps we could use
this site for some short candidates, too.

Here's some:
NEM 30%
TSO 32%
STLD 34%
BMY 32%
ACI 31%

Interestingly enough (not short candidates because not under 39%)
Goog 41%
AMD 42%
EBAY 45%
AMAT 46%
MSFT 44%
INTC 48%

Peanuts,
This will take some of the fun and all of the work out of finding those above 51. Just click on the flashing top 50 and it gives you the best rated 50 in 3 different price categories. I just noticed this feature.

I would be very careful with that Top 50 list. I just looked at the 52-wk charts for the first 7 or 8, and I don't see much in common among them as to technical indicator readings. I had been trading XCO for over a week and it just tanked a couple of days ago to touch its 50DMA, so I thought maybe that was what this site is looking for, but as you look at the other charts, that's not it at all.

Also be aware of distinguishing those stocks with avg daily volume > or < 100K per day. Makes a big difference.

Stockodds.com is never wrong...IIC

Just kidding...Billy asked for a free rating site so I gave him one...I doubt that it is worthwhile though...But I guess Peanut's test will shed some light...Doug(IIC)

Here is one I actually do use a little bit...Not that they are always right...And oftentimes I don't agree with them...But they do give you a short term, intermediate term and long term numerically based opinion based on technicals.

http://stockta.com

The only thing I don't like is the popup that comes up when you first enter the site.

I have been in contact with the owner in the past...seems like a nice fellow. I believe he had plans to develop it into a paid site a couple years ago...but it is still free...He started a forum too, but it never really caught on.

Take a look around...For ratings you can click BULLISH or BEARISH TECHNICAL ANALYSIS SCREENS at the top of the home page...then go from there by clicking what you want. They also have a free screener where you can choose from a variety of indicators...make sure you click US Only unless you also want Canadian stocks.
