Data Sources For Leadership Scans
I have been re-running the "leadership" scan I started a few weeks ago, but unfortunatley I have data from only one other source, Zacks.com. I also have dat from yahoo finance's screener, but unfortunately they have some weird HTML formatting in their spreadsheet that I'm going to have to fix before I can scan that. Google finance also has a screener, but the results are not in a downloadable format. So, for right now, I am comparing the data from zacks with that from Finviz,. So far all I have screened for is a 5 year earnings growth rate of 25% or better, and a return on equity of 17% or higher. With those criteria I get 167 socks from Zacks, and 238 from Finviz. Among the stocks from Zacks, there are 61 that are not in the Fonviz screen, with the most notable being AMZN. There are 132 in the Finviz screen not in the Zacks screen. It is probably not terribly important, since out of the 10 stocks I come up with every week there are no more than one or two that are debatable as leadership material, but I will start checking the data against more than one source, and if I can get the damn yahoo spreadsheet problem fixed, I'll have 3 sources.
