I look for stocks that have exhibited the potential to grow in the past.
I look for stocks that are increasing profits as fast as they are growing their revenues.
I look for stocks that are growing faster than the market.
I look for stocks without debt and a good company track record of reinvesting the ROE –buying companies, stock buybacks, etc.
I look for all of this, underpriced. A rule of thumb is a growth rate that’s higher than the PE ratio (Lynch).
Graham has a Warranted Market Value Equation that I use as well.

Here’s the list of the stocks that I pulled together tonight…. It’s a great place to start in my opinion since I’ve been actively screening them out of everywhere… and rated them to the top of my list. I haven’t sorted them yet. That comes next. I sort them from most favorite to least favorite.

Hi Glen,
I came across you website when trying to research stocks and found in researching it, it gave me inspiration. I’ve been attempting to trade stocks for a couple years now with limited success. I’ve really lost a lot of more than I have made by “buying stocks my friends told me about”. I’ve all but given up until I read you website. I would at least like to make my money back that I have lost and I also am in a situation where I need to finish up a degree with limited funds. Would you be willing to share with me your strategy for picking stocks? I would really like to know everything from research to deciding what to invest in.
Thank you very much for any help you can provide,
Jared
