Jbe, I also like screening for GARP (I like that acronym) and have successfully found what I was looking for using different screen engines. I have found that if I try to build the same screen in different engines, I can usually find a couple of companies that appear in more than one set of results. These companies usually prove to be good investments. I have also noticed that many companies continue to appear in my screens even years later. That was the case with Johnson Controls. They first appeared on one of my screens about 5 years ago and have since shown up several more times over the years. Since many of those screens were value screens, it’s not surprising that the same companies kept reappearing. Some companies are just steady plodders. I like to invest in value companies through Dividend Reinvestment Programs. I try to add to my DRIP every time a company reappears on my screens. Thanks for the tip on Telescan's Pro-Search. I don’t like to pay for services that I can find for free. I even get free Internet access and make free long distance phone calls. But since more than one person has recommended Wall Street City Telescan’s Pro-Search, I might give it a try. I am still rather busy, but I should have some free time in a day or two. When I do, I try out some of the site that others have posted here as well as Pro-Search. Thanks, B.K.
