Michael,
One reason that I do the searches in Telescan is that there is over 8000
stocks in their database and I don't want that many on my hard disk <G>.
Seriously, you guessed the real reason. There is no way to do fundamental
searches in MetaStock and there is in Telescan. Using ProSearch 5.0 on
Telescan, you can use up to 40 criteria in combination per search from nearly
300 available criteria. Each criterion is scored separately and can be
weighted for emphasis. Criterion may also be used to eliminate stocks that do
not meet minimum threshold values. There are 98 technical indicators, 68
performance indicators, 52 earnings indicators, 15 valuation indicators, 10
volume indicators, 4 debt risk indicators, and 12 MacroWorld forecasting
indicators. In short a search engine with indicators that I've never seen
duplicated any where else.
Searches follow:

Jim,
This forum is newly found for me. I've found your posts useful, frien=
dly
and astute. Thank you for that.=20
I've recently purchased Metastock and am evaluating Telescan. I'm
interested why you do your prospecting in Telescan. Does it offer sea=
rch
criteria and indicators that you could not create in Metastock or is =
it
just easier? I have noticed Telescan is fairly quick--even over Inter=
net
traffic.
Also, if you wouldn't mind sending your modified searches, I'd enjoy =
trying
to learn something from them.
Cheers,
Michael
