Hello Larry, Screen-O-Matic is based on Barry Savage's Frequency and Amplitude algorithm. Higher percentages mean that the stock has had a higher volatility over the past two years. Stocks in the 59% and above range are usually suitable for use with AIM. One way to use the program is to run a standard screen (using one of the stock screening Web sites) and enter the resulting list into Screen-O-Matic. Then further refine the list by eliminating all stocks rated below 59%. After you've done that, simply run the refined list through Automatic Investor's historical analysis function to see what each stock would have returned. If a stock is in the high 80s and above, it is usually an excellent choice (but not always). More information about the algorithm can be found at Barry's site (http://home.earthlink.net/~bvsavage/wisdom1.htm) regards, mark.
