How to Screen Stocks With Yahoo Finance
The best indicators on Yahoo Finance are price/sales and 5 year growth.
Price/sales is a more accurate indicator for value than price/earnings, because sales are more straightforward and less manipulated than earnings.
The way I would screen stocks is to sort the companies on the price/sales column from lowest to highest, because lower is better.
First, look at the top 40-50 companies (the ones with the lowest price/sales).
Then, out of these 40-50, focus on the companies with the highest 5 year growth.
This way, you will choose stocks that are growing, but still have value because they are relatively lower-priced.
These stock selections will work great with any system, including buy and hold.
You can get a great return if you manage these picks with my investment system.
