    pls recommend program that can auto do fundemental analysis
    a lot of technical analysis program can sort stocks by prices, by % move etc...

    what about fundamental analysis? usually we use % and ratios to analyse the fundementals of the company

    - Net Profit Margin
    - P/E Ratio
    - Book Value Per Share
    - Current Ratio
    - Debt Ratio
    - Inventory Turnover
    - and use different Stock Price Valuation models to give a fair value of the stock

    all these can be easily calculated, tabulated in a nice table and compared using a program. So is there such a program for this purpose? whether the program is free or not doesnt matter

    a quick search at download.com give some results
    Value Investor 1.3.7

    any other recommendations?

    What are you gonna compare? Historical ratios? In order to arrive at a fair value of a stock using a Valuation Model you need make a projection of future cash flows, growth rates and etc. How's a program gonna do that? Or rather where are you gonna get those future earnings estimates?

    Tey the screener at Reuters.com. It has the estimate concesus numbers and all that good stuff. You can screen and download to Excel and analyze away.

    ignore the fair value (and all the other features which requires human intelligence)

    what about the ratio features? do u have a good recommendation in mind?
