    how do you guys handle this?

    i noticed mr market recently sold HS and FOSL for a profit. if his next scan turned up either of those two stocks as final picks do you guys re-invest for another go at 15%? or do you scan / screen prior to closing a position and simply add or hold it if it comes up again in a new screen?

    i did my first screen / scan this weekend and HS and FOSL were my two finalists but i notice many of you have already bought and sold both it seems.

    thanks.

    $$$Mr. Market$$$ avoids picking the same stock shortly after he has sold. I do (did, because I have to get myself running again) so too. No special reason. You just go down in the list. The stocks a few ranks down are good too.

    Another tip: don't run this method every week. As stocks gain, they tend to drop off the screens because of their valuation.

        You are talking about the finwiz.com screener that was posted here right?

        How do you set up the screener please?
