Both screening and reading are pieces of the puzzle not the puzzle. Screening allows you to come up with a list of suspects that have attributes you are currently looking for. Reading news gives you ideas on trends, recent events and either reinforce your current thinking or present reasons why current thinking may be in error.

they both have downsides. Screening may ignore current events and changing circumstances and any thing you read is likely already been reflected in stock prices as well as odds of future known events being discounted.

for every 20 suspects I come up with (which come from many sources including screening and reading) I'm lucky to find one thats worth putting actual dollars into.

So I would say that using either as primary tool for investment decisions would produce a tunnel vision type of portfolio.

Add personal contacts. Look around you, whose smiling? Find out why.........
