I used Market Guide's for a long time, but was frustrated by the inaccuracies in their data sets (such as computing market cap off only the A shares when B shares exist). Lots of false net nets. Still, it has customizable variables (though limited primary variables with which to create them). And you can dowload the data set on your own schedule (pay as you go). CompuStat. Eegad. It's not worth it. There's a limitation to screeing anyway (see my disclaimer on the screening session of my web page). Value Line has always appealed because that's what Buffett claims to use, and you aren't necessarily limited. They have a more expensive, expanded package as well. I've come very close to using it. But my favorite is MSN Investor's Investment Finder screener. Easy, cheap (for me it's free, and I'm not sure what they charge for investor these days but I think it's like less than 10/month). And most of all the data is usually pretty accurate. I find the limitation in the tool is that it is a bit imprecise. It does allow ranking. Good investing, Mike
