Hi, Interesting, I was just trying S.Money's screening tool last night. I was a little disappointed with their charging for such a basic tool. Maybe I'm spoiled with much of the free info on the net. You might want to try Quicken's screener which is free. It seems to me to be of equal quality. I did a similar screen as yours with criteria as close as I could match with this tool. See the results below. Note: I haven't even reviewed the stocks. I just ran the screen to judge the screening tool compared to Smart Money. Looks like only 3 stocks in common (CNTL, TOF, XNR). Probably due to the minor diff. in criteria. 1. 5yr EPS >25% 2. 1yr EPS >25% 3. LTD/EQUITY <.5 4. Market Cap <200mil 5. Inst. Ownership < 40% Name--Symbol--Market Cap (MM)--PE Ratio -- Price/Book -- Price/Sales -- Div Yield -- 3 yr Inc Growth --3 yr Rev Growth -- Price ABIGAIL ADAMS NATL BANCP AANB 42.60 15 2.26 2.90 3.1 49.00 7.82 15.65 BIRMINGHAM UTILITIES INC BIW 29.23 5 2.23 6.35 3.4 9.42 1.22 17.90 CANTEL MEDICAL CORP.

Some questions/comments. 1) Can you do three year earnings instead of 5 with this screen? 2) While debt/equity is a good thing to evaluate, some companies with high debt are good buys. But high debt is a red light that should be looked at. 3) I'm not big on looking at market capitalization. The reason low market cap stocks often do better is because their may be more of those stocks that are a good value and haven't gotten onto many peoples radar. I prefer to look at the company and its fundamentals regardless of market cap. - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Warren Keuffel" <wkeuffel@xmission.com> To: "CANSLIM list" <canslim@lists.xmission.com> Sent: Sunday, April 21, 2002 2:08 PM Subject: [CANSLIM] Testing Smart Money Screening Tool > Hey, I signed up for a two week free trial of a financial site run by > Smart Money.
