here's a post of mine from 2001 with my screening criteria: Message 15298045 A low 3-week RS would probably be a helpful criterion to include in a screen, judging from the charts for your most successful stocks this year, Infostream. I think next year I would screen on these criteria: most important: - stock price in desired range (mostly < $1) - low RS: 12-mo, 6-mo, 3-mo, and especially lowest 3-week - 30-day average dollar volume >> $50k important: - high individual ownership - ratio (volume in next-to-last day of year or the day before that / 30-day average volume) > 1.2 less important: - value criteria (price/cash, cashflow, etc.) Finally, screen by hand to avoid stocks with recent bad news and large single-day price declines, and to favor stocks with charts that have been going down continuously. =============== I think that in subsequent years I found that the price range 0.4 - 2.0 in December was about right, and in one year in particular it was best to be at the high end of that range to avoid terribly POS companies
