Dmitri,

not sure where you are doing your screening, but my experience with DGO's
beta site convinced me that the simpler I kept the screens, the better. Not
only did I get more candidates to look at, where I could apply simple human
intelligence, but I didn't eliminate a stock that might have just missed a
single criteria by a little, but otherwise was of interest.

In looking down the list, I noted you used $20 price for a minimum. I would
suggest lowering that to at least 15, if not 12.

I would also suggest always setting any minimum or maximum limits outside of
your acceptable range, not exactly at the limit of the acceptable range.
