FinViz.com free screener

[hhansen]

I stumbled across finviz and they have a free screener. I did a forum search and see IIC referenced the site a few times but I thought I would bring it up again for those still looking for a quality free screener (hint hint deaddog and the canadians).

Not perfect but close:
You can plug the v# after this url, e.g.

http://finviz.com/screener.ashx?v=111&f=ta_highlow52w_b0to3h,ta_perf_52w300o&ft=4

MM2: v=111&f=ta_highlow52w_b0to3h,ta_perf_52w300o&ft=4
{should really be within 2% of high, meh}

MM3: v=111&f=fa_eps5years_o20,ta_highlow52w_b0to5h,ta_p erf_52w100o&ft=4
{should really be price appreciation of > 150%}

MM4: v=111&f=fa_pe_u50,ta_highlow52w_b0to5h,ta_perf_52w 100o&ft=4
{should really be price appreciation of > 125%}

MM5: v=111&f=fa_pe_u15,ta_highlow52w_b0to5h,ta_perf_52w 50o&ft=4
{this one is okay}

If anyone wants to add samples of screens 1, 7, and 8.

That is awesome!!! Thank you very much.
I can see the old Dog learning a new trick or two.

Thank you very much. I'll be off work next week recovering from surgery so I'll spend some time playing around with this.

Really nice! The percentages can be sorted out in a spreadsheet export, when you take care to export the relevant column.

Regards,

Well alrighty then..let's see your picks.

Very cool!!!

So I am liking finviz.com as a screener. I used it it for the non-IBD screens (MM #2-5) and used IBD for the others. Here are my top 5 after throwing out a few like (CMG, NFLX, and AZO).

APKT VIT FFIV BIDU DLTR
I think I might buy them all

I especially like Dollar Tree. What's better than buying something for $20? Buying 20 somethings for $1 each. And look at this chart. Solid

[hhansen]

LOL. I just realized DLTR was a MM pick last month. Oh well. I still like it.

bidu and vit were also mr.market picks

[Eric]

bidu and vit were also mr.market picks

He meant top 5 winner. MM already gained closed a position on DTLR.

Right, exactly. Those two were on some Top 5 lists but have not been a MM pick yet. They ain't picks til the fat man sings.

what do you think about mcdonalds?

disgusting. however, I do stop in now and then ever since they added that McCafe menu. Their mocha frappe's not bad at all.

anyone else read about this little experiment?

I've finally sat down and played around with this. Like Questrade, it seems we are only able to pick from a predetermined set of parameters. Not too shabby, though.

Anything in particular you are looking for?
