Doug, I just discovered the VectorVest thing a couple days ago, too. Your idea of screening for "volatility without the risk" is good, although I think that the VectorVest program equates volatility with risk. I have no proof of this, but it seems to be borne out by the stocks i put in there. Also, VectorVest seems to equate companies that don't pay dividends with risk, which also seems a little silly to me as well, since most stocks have pretty puny dividend yields now anyway (other than REITs and utilities). One aproach for your screen might be to go to Hoover's StockScreener, and look for cos with high Beta (not the same as volatility, but not too bad as a surrogate) and low (P/E, P/Sales, P/Book, whatever your favorite valuation tool is). The stockscreener thingy is at stockscreener.com Congrats to Kent for getting #5000 <g>. Zach
