Default Re: Value inv. How to pick

Thanks DesertCat. Do you screen by P/Es? What other items do you use to limit your investment decisions? I know you deal with micro caps so your screening techniques will reflect that.

I'd like to screen by free cash flow (usually earnings + depreciation/amortization - minimum capital investments), but it's hard to get a free screener that can do that.

Screening by book value I would screen by tangible book value.

But your easiest approach is just 52 week low lists. Gives you a wide variety of companies, and typically when they are attractively priced. Once you find an interesting business, you should read all of it's competitors reports, sometimes you'll find a much better opportunity, but even if you don't it's good for competitive analysis.
