>> Hi Howard, don't know if you were aware of this or not, but the price/sales ratio was being calculated incorrectly (yes, it would SEEM simple enough) in Research Marvel until just recently.<< Yes I knew this. This was one of the first things I noticed when I first received Research Marvel. Hence when using PSR in Research Marvel to screen for stocks I have always used the "Screen By Calculation Function" and I set the field to ( Price * Shares Outstanding ) / Sales. I suspect you were also trying to use Research Marvel to select stocks based on the criteria James P O'Shaugjnessy listed in his "What Works on Wall Street" book.
