So is this the extent of your screening criteria? Just the big performers for the last 6 months? No other technical or fundamental criteria? Min volume? EPS? I'm basically trying to determine how something gets on your radar where you say, "Yea, this is a bet I'll make."

Congrats on the return, the last week hasn't been pretty.

No actually my strategy has evolved significantly since those first few posts. It is now primarily a fundamental-based strategy with a technical overlay. All my positions are "undervalued" in some way. Here is a snapshot of my current positions relative to the S&P for various measures.

Closed this one out today for a 30% gain. It soared on buy out news from Hewlett Packard. Bought it a few weeks ago at $26.

Here is one of my more disappointing trades. Was up 50% last month but closed today for a small loss.

Closed out a good one today - bought around $3.00 a few weeks ago.

I'm essentially back to 100% invested in stocks after holding a lot of cash a few months ago. I do have a tiny bit in a T-Bond etf.

Last month the stock screening site I had subscribed to for a few years closed down so I had to scramble to find an alternative. I tried out a few services but they werent quite working out so I hired a programmer to code me exactly what I want. It took some time & expense at $90/hr but he was able to replicate my strategy to produce the weekly buy & sell signals I need.

Had a question about this.

I have been dis-satisfied with stock screeners myself and HAVE BEEN looking to create my own.

I can code it fine, but where are you getting the raw data from all the stocks from?Meaning the raw feed? I've seen a few providers, but they are all over the place in terms of price, usage amounts, etc.

Been stuck at that stage for a few months going back and forth on who I would use for a feed.

Any info? Thanks for any advice.

Thanks
Jason

Its hard to believe i've been running this strategy for about 2 years now. I'm under performing my benchmark (IWM) by about -15% over that time. I'm under performing the S&P by 2x that but I just cant bring myself to pile in to those stocks like AAPL, AMZN, GOOG, FB, etc trading at 30x earnings. With this recent correction I'm starting to rotate out of stocks and into gold & bonds so if there is another V shaped recovery over the next few weeks/months I'm going to really be lagging.

Well I'm finally ahead of my benchmark once again. Unfortunately I'm still down some 30%ish. Current allocation is 40% bonds, 40% gold, 20% stocks. Gold has not been acting well lately, that may go to cash next week if it fails to improve.

Had a crazy November, my entire portfolio was up over 20%. Then this one ended with a huge bang, bought a couple months ago at $3:

I use a custom fundamental screener that I built. Once in a while you get lucky with something that takes off like this but it is definitely not the norm.

I am interested in creating a stock screener for myself. What resources did you use?
I subscribe to data from Quandl and use a Jupiter notebook hosted on AWS to do the computations.

This one is a recent disappointment. I bought it back in July around $10 and watched it nearly double. Then the company announced a new share offering in August and the price plummeted. I got out around even and missed the big move up.

I recently started using my brokerage account like a bank account by withdrawing personal expenses out of it via bill pay. Presently, just my mortgage & property taxes are being drafted monthly. Ultimately, the goal would be to have most or all of my personal expenses paid for with capital gains & dividends. I need a 4% annual return to cover my housing cost without drawing down principal which shouldnt be overly difficult. I have a margin account so I can borrow against stock at silly low rates if I dont have any available cash.

Health insurance will be the next big expense to cover.

Closed out a nice gain on this today. I think it was one of the high short interest stocks bid up by the folks on WSB. I'm not sure why the short interest is high because its a decent business with good sales & income. But thanks anyways, they can have my shares at this price.

Looks like a nice source, but it looks like they do not have Stock Options as datafeed, am I correct?

Does anyone know of feeds that als offer Options feeds? Could definitely be delayed or even daily.

I'm looking to build a 'covered calls' tools, so i would need data for both the options and the underlying equity.
