 Growth Companies to Study
(for January 5, 2008)
One of the most common questions asked by investors is "Where can I find ideas for companies to study?"
Stock Prospector software is the answer. This screening tool allows you to screen 7,000 stocks and quickly identify those stocks that meet your personal requirements for consideration. Whether you're looking for growth, quality, value or safety -- or some mix of those characteristics -- Stock Prospector can help.
To demonstrate the power of Stock Prospector, ICLUBcentral presents the top companies that meet certain characteristics for Growth, Quality, Value, and Safety in our "Growth Companies to Study" list. This screen is based on pre-defined criteria (PDC) that is included with the software. The specific criteria for this screen is identified below:
| EPS R2 5yr > .95 |
EPS consistency over last 5 years greater than 95% |
| Hist 5Yr EPS Gr > .15 |
