Welcome Chuck,
Evidently not since I'm not even
clear on what you have in mind when
you write about "when Moneycentral
was an active board." I have seen
their several pre-defined screens
as well as oodles of screens at
Vectorvest and at some of the freebie
screening sites (some of which
are on the LINKS tab of both the
Prospector and the DSL).
It seems to me that the trick isn't in
finding screens or even screens
that someone or other is quite proud of
having written. For me, the
trick is finding screens that provide a
high hit rate on stocks that
are both stable and otherwise
sound.
The entire topic of finding such screens, however, is less
interesting
to me now than it was, say, six months ago. Then, I
hadn't yet found
a list of stocks that met the criteria. Now, with
the DSL's list, I
personally feel that I have a stock universe (albeit
small) that is
sufficient. On most weeks, I'm able to find four to
sixteen stocks
that are in a conservatively-figured buy
range.
Rather than concentrate on finding more stocks (though good
ones are
ALWAYS welcome), I am personally more interested in paring down
the
DSL by raising the bar. But, as is ALWAYS the case with me on
most
things, that is a backburner priority. I know I'll get to
it. I am
not so sure when. Maybe, I'll just chip away at it
every time I
update the DSL and handle it that
way.
Best,
Tom

And, I've seen oodles of scans in VectorVest
and precanned scans at
other screening sites. The trick isn't in
finding scans or even in
finding scans that someone is very proud
of. The trick is in finding
scans that provide a high hit rate on
the high stability stocks which
we're looking for. Or, to avoid
pretending that I'm licensed to write
for others, "which I'm looking
for."

fine by me.
