...trying to figure out why I couldn't get CA to produce the results I so desired.

Sorry for the confusion. There is also one other wrinkle. If you go to the same site and look up the 5 year growth for VTSS it is something like 235%, yet if you screen on high eps growth it doesn't show up. Go figure.

One final warning on screening I learned the hard way. Some screens have more up to date information than others. Morningstar is considered the best by my friends, but costs $600 per year last time I looked. Quicken is free, but as you can see sometimes leads to strange results as you have noticed. Microsoft Investor is very flexible, but costs $10/month.

I think for a starting investor, the Quicken screen is flexible enough and also good enough to get you a starting list of AIM'ble stocks. It is one of the few where you can search for longevity of eps growth and also beta on the same screen. I pointed you toward that CA webpage because it is much easier than trying to find the same page on the Quicken site.
