Todd, Excellent! I consider the willingness to share in detail your screening methods and criteria, then list a website where this can be done very generous. I appreciate what you provided, it is something I am going to chisel in stone. For comparison, after 4 months of investing, I had developed the following list of criteria to use in the Investment Finder at Microsoft Investor's website. 1. Market Capitalization < $400M 2. Debt/equity ratio as low as possible 3. Price/sales ratio as low as possible 4. Past 1 year sales growth as high as possible 5. Past 5 year earnings growth as high as possible 6. Net profit margin as high as possible 7. Institutional ownership % less than 25% 8. ROE as high as possible This is how I originally found SMTC as a potential investment opportunity. The results did have some flaws, especially the debt/equity and market capitalization criteria which allowed a lot of tiny, debt-free companies to sneak into the list. Also, the ROE criteria also gave false readings for some companies with incredibly small amounts of equity. I think this may mean one thing : Goodbye MS Investor :o) Regards, JB
