Stock Screen Advice Please

[spider_pig]

After a bit of a hiatus I'm getting back into the Market. I used to use MSN's Stock Screener, but it looks like they've downgraded its functionality. I'm looking for a screener that will help me find stocks using screens similar to Mr. Market's (e.g., stocks within 2% of their 52 week high with a 52 week price appreciation >300%, etc.). MSN was great because I was able to save my search screens and it was all free.

Any help would be appreciated

I think I got it. My broker's website seems to work.

maybe "finviz.com"?
It's free, at least.

I'm in the same boat with Spider Pig. The free screeners out there don't seem to have nearly the flexibility or detail of the old MSN Money screener. His example is typical of what is hard to do well elsewhere. The Finviz screener is okay, the NASDAQ and Yahoo! screeners not quite as good. The Fidelity screener, available through my company 401K, fits in the same pack.

What I'd really like to find is a free or cheap screener using end-of-day data that can cover 80-90% of what the MSN-M tool did, or, say, handle the first three steps of Mr. Market's stock picking model. Would SmartMoney, AAII or ADVFN be suitable?

I found that E*Trade works well; they upgraded their screener since the last time I had checked.
