How To Use A Stock Screener

In this lesson, the speaker introduces a basic and easy-to-use tool called a stock screener, which is used to narrow down companies based on specific financial criteria. The speaker prefers the Google stock screener and walks through the different criteria that can be adjusted, including market cap, price-to-earnings ratio, dividend yield, and debt-to-equity ratio. The speaker recommends using a current ratio of over 1.5 and a return on equity of at least 5%, and suggests that the tool is a starting point for further research rather than a sole basis for investment decisions. The lesson highlights the importance of adjusting criteria based on market conditions and developing one’s own strategy.
