what is a stock screener? pls elaborate [/ QUOTE ] a screener, like the ones you can download from "msn money" or "yahoo finance" , http://screener.finance.yahoo.com/newscreener.html where you are able to type in several stock parameters (criteria that you use in evaluating a company) to filter out the bad stocks, once you have your complete list of stocks that meet your criteria, you analyze those to see which ones are worthy enough for investing in. ...i have never used one myself, that is why i am writing this post. ... to see if stock screeners are helpful and beneficial to investors..... and which stock screening parameter criteria is most beneficial. |

well I guess it can be of some value I never used one myself (I don't think I have) It probably helps but not a whole lot. ie. it won't help you pick winners |

Some will be dogs but others will be beaten down below their true value. |
