jeffrey, No contest. I have had no luck finding good buys with any screening grid format I've tried. My suggestions are for individual stocks as you say, but PE, P/BV, and P/S are also variables that do not necessarily represent the value of a stock. A list based on these parameters, even with my suggestions added, will likely bring forth a group of tech and oil stocks because they are historical values. Investors have been trying to find a mathematical formula for finding undervalued stocks since there has been a market. None have been successful and I don't think, even with computers, that one ever will be. JMHO, Ron

Jeff, I've done some work on getting the figures together for PE vs Sales growth price appreciation "grid", but I'm going to have to work to get the formatting together before I post. I've got alot of data, but it's too messy to post right now. A look at the initial figures shows that there is indeed a "sweet spot" in terms above average price growth (both median and average prices) and win percentages (expected gainers vs. losers). Will post this soon. Shane
