This is a group of screens based on value. They illustrate four different approaches to implementing that style: (1) use of "absolute" rules, such as a requirement that P/E ratios be less than 20, that PEG ratios be less than 1.00, etc. (2) use of rules that compare a stock's value ratios to those of other firms in the same industry, (3) use of rules that compare value ratios for a particular stock to those of all others in or database, and (4) a comprehensive approach that seeks stocks whose value ratios compare well to those of industry peers and to the database as a whole. Each of these screens can be used as is, presumably combined with a ranking system. We connected each to one of our broad-based pre-set ranking systems, the QVG (Quality-Value-Growth) system. Feel free to experiment by combining these screens with other ranking systems (we suggest broadening the range of selections by using a ranking system that is not based purely on value criteria). These screens are also useful as instructional models: you can save the one that most closely matches your preferences and then modify it as you choose, perhaps using ideas gleaned from other kinds of pre-set screens.
StockScreen123 Screens represent hypothetical or simulated performance, not actual trading. Since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under-or-over compensated for the impact of certain market factors such as liquidity. Returns may include a slippage amount for each trade. Dividends are not included. Remember that past returns are no guarantee of future returns.
