Message: [QUOTE="McLovin, post: 3544884, member: 9450"] Don't think anyone has brought this up... what key metrics do y'all look at when picking your investments and what tools do you use to evaluate stocks? I try to initially screen companies based on 3+ years of strong revenue growth (typically at least 20%+ each year), companies with little or no debt (enterprise value < market cap), strong free cash flow (I think its more important than EPS). Ideally look for midsized market cap companies, $1B - $20B. From there I will dive into the the individual companies to get the full picture. I used to use S&P Capital IQ for all my investment screening and analysis, its like Yahoo Finance on super steroids. Now I no longer have access to that tool, it's much harder to screen for new investments. What free tools do people out there use to discover stocks? [/QUOTE]
