Here's a decent site for screening: investor.reuters.com Using power screener, you can create boolean logic queries on a wide variety of important company data. Other useful sites (for profiles or better format)include: prosearch.businessweek.com cbs.marketwatch.com (enter a ticker symbol and select "profile" for a good summary) fin-info.com (For Canadian microcaps, this site is more likely to have financial data.) Stockwatch: new.stockwatch.com Yahoo: finance.yahoo.com In all cases, registration is required to get better access, but the free level is still useful. Have fun. -g

David, I use no screens. I would put it most simply that the best ideas come directly of indirectly from wealthy people or people who manage money. -from a broker you know serving wealthy clients or institutions. -from an institutional investor reported on in the financial press. -from a wealthy friend or family member. -from the CEO of a small public company that you have cultivated a relationship with, who comments on another idea. -from a knowledgeable/wealthy investor posting an idea at an on-line message board.
