There are more fundamental factors to look at than any one person would want to know about.  One of the main problems with fundamentals is the information provided by the companies.  who is cooking what set of books.  There are several programs out there that allow you to set up the fundamental parameters that you want to use as filters and then scan stocks for those that meet that criteria. 
 
There are PE rations, Debt to equity ratios, cash flow ratios, earnings growth, return on equity and on and on.  I sampled a couple of these programs and found that on many occasions there was pertinent data missing so the numbers were not correct. 
 
One other thing of note.  You can have two companies with exactly the same fundamentals and quality of management and one can be trading at X and the other at 4X.  The one trading at 4X has a list of analysts that follow the stock and the other is just doing its business and not going to trade shows, conferences or wining and dining various firms to get their company noticed. 
 
Fundamentals are based upon old information that is usually out of date and how many earnings estimates are correct.  Technical analysis is based upon what is happening now and those that are willing to put their money where their mouth is. .

 For any that use stock fundamentals in their investing-trading or knows about what fundamenrals are the best to look at for stock trading.
 I would like to know what handfull of stock fundamental info you look at and scan or screen for,  to help you decide if the stock may be a good buy or something to stay away from over the near term to mid-term.  The few most of you think are maybe the most important.
 
 And I am talking about only funfamental stuff not technicals.
