New tool - Google Stock Screener

[brunes]

Wondering what people think of Google's new "stock picking tool". Was playing around with it a bit, it is actually quite cool and would be good for value investors I think. You can build really complex search criteria and find all stocks and funds that match.

I have used it and it is a good start point to finding some stocks that you should do more research on.

Hmm interesting, I never noticed this. Will have to play around with it later!

can you filter just canadian stocks?

I don't think so. TSX isn't listed as one of the exchanges.

Looks like a useful tool if you don't have any companies in mind, I guess, but I usually go the other way, see a company I find interesting, and then look through their financial data.

Like I said - I think it is ideal for value investors!

Very nice for the basic fundamentals... tried looking into the technical indicators but none are there. :(

very useful. Thanks for the heads up!

be careful with ratios/financial data on google.....reliability is a concern :)

for example, don't assume the EPS, PE, dividend yield etc you see on google are correct. Always verify against another source, or calculate it yourself if you can.

Not a bad design for screener though....
