How to use the Google Finance Stock Screener

The Google Finance stock screener covers about 7,000 stocks on the NYSE, the AMEX, and NASDAQ. The screener has about fifty selection criteria, each with a high-low limit, plus selection by 12 economic sectors and 3 trading markets.

The Google stock screener has five advantages that distinguish it from some competing screens. It allows maximum and minimum numerical criteria, bar graphs of criteria distribution, and close integration with Google Finance.

The long road to recovery

Why false bull markets are likely

By John Schroy, on June 1st, 2010 | Leave a comment
Reading the glyphs that predict future markets is a fool's errand that tempts us all.

Over the years, I’ve read quite a number of books on investment. Not all are worth the effort.
Among those that I consider valuable, I would cite Graham & Dodd’s “Security Analysis”, “Fooled by Randomness” by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Wu and Zakon’s “Elements of Investments”, and “The Great Depression: A Diary” by Benjamin Roth. The latter brings a message that is especially relevant in these trying times — a warning that early optimists regarding recovery are often as badly burnt as those who failed to foresee the original crisis.
