Screen Statistical Analysis

[Deaddog]

when I run my IBD screens I don't always get the same hits that Mr Market gets in his dump. Possibly since I use IBD and he uses Fidelity. e.g. South Beach Top 5 entry "CMXX.OB" did not even show up in my IBD 8 screen dump.

I just started a trial subscription with IBD. You mentioned you were using 8 different screens. Is there a screening tool I'm missing?

Of my last 22 picks, only 2 are losing money. So...I guess it really doesn't matter...I always win!!! I am HUGE!!!

I see a lot of smart numbers guys posting a lot here on the forums so I am throwing this idea out for conversation.

I am not trying to diminish the value of any one of the eight MM screens however I think it would be interesting to see which screen(s) produced each entry in the Top 5. Each pick will have one or more screens in which it appears.

After months and years this data could eventually provide some interesting insight as to whether hits on a particular screen or combination of screens produces more Top 5 entries and Mr Market picks. It could also be used to see if there is any correlation on MM pick success vs losses.

One potential issue I foresee is when I run my IBD screens I don't always get the same hits that Mr Market gets in his dump. Possibly since I use IBD and he uses Fidelity. e.g. South Beach Top 5 entry "CMXX.OB" did not even show up in my IBD 8 screen dump.
