Thanks for the insight on this one! I am going to try and duplicate this scan with the Yahoo screener. I know I am going to have to sub some things be this should be replicable.

Aside from the proprietary ratings IBD offers, how does this wizard differ from TeleChart? Which do you prefer?

Pradeep Bonde said...

Telechart is for database and is primarily for non financial based scanning. It cannot do any of the above scan.
I like both. Because they do different things.

Tim said...

Wish there was another screener that allows to screen for accelerating quarterly earnings growth (and sales).

Pradeep Bonde said...

Try Moneycentral scanner.

Tim said...

I use moneycentral screener (and smartmoney one too) but neither offer quarter to quarter acceleration criteria (only quarter > yearly or > 5yr)

Zacks might have it.
On Moneycentral on individual stocks you can find it.
