Bob & Bob:
I use this also and there's book written by Marc Gerstein
that describes the approach.
Marc has been known to answer EMails and knows the problem
of backtesting and
the need for historical data. At one point he
promised to ship me a few years worth of
family lists but alas that didn't happen.
Marc was with Multex before Reuters bought them
out and remained with them in the first year. (ah I see he
has another book on the site and also
that Reuters has bought Foliofn ) I think Reuters is
a main price data supplier to folks like AAII,
Microsoft, professionals(professional price for a
subscription and a desktop).
AAII also has excellent screens where performance is tracked. IBD
was know to cite
the CANSLIM results obtained by AAII in 2002, but in 2003 that approach did
not fare
well.

-selecting stocks of interests
I use the Reuters Select lists to pick the stocks I apply
my TA to. They
have 19 different lists, each updated daily. I
build a new watchlist every
Friday from 5 of them. IIR, you have to
register on their site,
www.reuters.com,
to access the lists but
registration is free.
Follow the menus:
Investing->Ideas &
Screening->Reuters Select (or Ideas & Screening->
Daily
Results). You can download the screen results in Excel
format.
They also have a screener tool that you can use to build your
own lists, but
it's a cut-down version of the professional tool they
provide their paying
customers.
I'm not sure if you can download the
results or not. The Reuters Select
lists are
built with the full
profession screener.
I switched to using these lists from using filters
against my QP fundimental
data at
the end of September and the results
have been good (so far).
The main drawback to using lists like these is
not knowing the historical
membership
so it's not possible to do a
really accurate backtest. The lists vary quite
a bit day to
day
& week to week.
