I'm a beginner to this, and have a stock profile worth about $1,000. I try to base it off of the Grahm Enterprising Investor rules, however on many scanners I don't see criteria that fits the criteria of his. I may just not understand the wording of the criteria. At the moment, I find stocks using a Ben Grahm screener. Should i trust this, and how could I create a Grahm screener in yahoo finance. My profile consists of: DSW (-$8.16),HY (17.57+),JNJ (-5.44),LNN (+0.33, just bought today), OSN (-2.38),PME (-5.6),POWL (-4.74), and BBRY (+26.60). Clearly the Grahm screener doesnt work, so what would you reccomend using?
This was a rude and snarky post, written in the crush/rush of the trading day, for which I apologize. I found your post hard to comprehend, the first time around. Upon further study, I would offer that, in seeking advice/opinion, you need to provide a lot more of your own personal context -- time frames, long term investment/risk-avoidance aims, your own trading platform (besides "Yahoo Finance"!!) come to mind. Otherwise, you are inviting people to write a book, and the ones who could are too busy, and the ones who will, you don't want to read.
Thanks, so you'd just reccomend doing research on these stocks from the screen? Or where should I find stocks to research?
