Growth Stocks 

growth stock candidates worth a look

This is one of my favorite screens for finding growth stock candidates suitable for holding for 6 to 18 months. The screen employs a combination of fundamental and technical (charting) requirements.

Looking at fundamentals, qualifying companies must show strong and accelerating sales growth, steadily increasing current year earnings forecasts, substantial institutional ownership, positive cash flow, reasonable valuations, etc. Especially important considering current conditions, all are low-debt. On the technical side, passing stocks must be in a moderate or strong uptrend.

Remember, these are research candidates, not a buy list. .

As is the case for all screens, consider the results a list of candidates worthy of further research, not a buy list. The more you know about your stocks, the better your results.
