using a stock screener?

You have some interesting questions.  There is no correct answer to them unfortunately.  \n\nSmall cap vs large cap.   Surprisingly small cap as commonly defined is in fact rather large.  Most consider companies with less than two billion dollars in market capitalization as small cap.\nLarge cap are considered companies with market capitalization of greater than $10 billion.  Those in between are considered mid cap.  Companies with less than $300 million in market captialization are considered micro cap. So actually there are 4 categories.\n\nmicro cap\nsmall cap\nmid cap\nlarge cap\n\nHeck some even break the categories down finer. One problem with these categories is that they are based on market value, not sales, not assets, not earnings, but what people are willing to pay for them.  Consequently, if investors have bid up the price of the stock to extremely high levels, a company might be considered large cap when in fact it is a small company. Sort of dumb. \n\nSmall cap stocks in general outperform large cap stocks but are much more volitile.  The reason generally is that small cap stocks have more growth potential than large cap stocks.  They do however also have more potential for failure.\n\nStocks that have hit new highs do not have any overhead supply waiting to be dumped on the market, so they are considered to have more upside potential than stocks that have fallen in price.  With stocks that have fallen in price, there are a lot of people waiting for the stock to recover to the price they paid for it to sell and recover their funds. Not the case with stocks that have hit new highs.  And Newton's 1st law of motion is considered to apply to stocks as well on bodies.  "A body in motion will tend to remain in motion until acted upon by an external force".  So a stock rising in price will be expected to continue rising in price and vice versa.\n\nThe last question is the most difficult to answer.  For myself, anything above a pe of 20 is highly suspect.  But I am in the definite minority.  Many investors now look more closely at the PEG than the PE.  The PEG is the PE divided by the expected growth rate.  If the PEG is below 1.0, the stock is considered a bargain.  If it is above 2.0, the stock is considered very expensive.  The problem is the the expected growth rate is just a wild guess.

Check for solid fudementals, (is the company making money, does it have low debt, are sales increasing, etc.) and Technical indicators that are telling you the stock is going up, ie: price, MACD, Chaikin Money Flow, stochastics, etc.  \n\nStart with Investors.com, the site has a Stock Checkup, a great tool for checking fundamentals on any stock. \n\nFor a more detailed study of Technical Analysis go to StockCharts.com, pay particular attention to the Bollinger Bands, Moving Average, Volume, RSI, the MACD (Mac-D), The Williams %er, Stochastics, and the Chaikin Money Flow.  \n\nThen check out StockTA.com, it is also an excellent Technical Analysis site, with charted Fibonacci resistance and support lines and will tell you if the stock is bullish or bearish in the short, medium and long run.  The site also has an extensive Candle Pattern Glossary and a fantastic technical screener. \n\nThe above sites do have premium services, but all the services I mentioned are free.  I've been using Elliot Wave and Fibonacci's to help refine my in and out points.  StockCharts.com's "ZigZag" overlay helps me plot and count the waves and that helps determine where I am in the overall pattern. \n\nBasically I find interesting stocks through the screens on Investors.com or StockTA.com, run them through the Stock Checkup at Investors.com, if they measure up I'll run them through the Analyisis & Fib Analysis at StockTA.com and do an extensive chart study at StockCharts.com, examining the 2 yr, 1 yr, 6 mth, 3 mth, 1 mth & 5 day.  I'll also do my due dilligence, studying the profile, key statistics, headlines, etc. through Yahoo Finance and web searches.  If it all measures up and the stock is in a base or in a pull back and it's starting a wave 1 or wave 3, it's time to buy. \n\nSo, to sum it up; you're looking for solid fundamental indicators, and Technical indicators that tell you that the stock is bullish (going up).\n\nI heartily recomend studying the How To Invest section of Investors.com, the Chart School at StockCharts.com, and the School at StockTA.com to further your investment education.\n\nRemember, when investing always protect your downside with a stop loss or a trailing stop loss.  \n\nGood luck, hope it helps.

Yeah it normal to be charged some fee. 2% seems kind of high, but then why do you need stock certificates ? Just keep your stocks in street name. The certificates can only be used as wallpaper if the company goes broke, they don't give you anything else.

Ask your broker for a copy of the Red Herring.  Otherwise, the SEC(Securities and Exchange Commission) web-site likely has all filings for ipo's. Good luck.

If for some reason you do not wish to open a stock brokerage account, contact your local bank and ask them if they will buy stock for you.  Also ask them how much they charge.  An on line discount broker will charge you about $10.

Check out the nasdaq website. Look up that company, find out how much one share of stock is selling for. Then find out the number of available shares. Then multiply the two. That's your answer.\n\nThat doesn't mean you could buy the company for that figure, but that will answer your question.

I've been looking for years and haven't found one.  Also, I have found that many stocks can be immediately ruled out, unless you know more than me.  Some are traded infrequently, some have no information and some just don't make any sense to me.\n\nWhat I have found is that the question you should be asking is: "If I had a list of all of the stocks, what would I look for?"  That is where a stock screening program comes in.  Yahoo finance has one for free, and you can find a screener at almost any stock related site.  \n\nA screener will go through the list of stocks in that screener and, based on criteria you define, return a set of results.  Your criteria might be (volume > 100000) or (Price > 5) or (price > 52 week high).  For me, this is the best way to locate stocks that I would be interested in.\n\nI hope I interpreted your question correctly.  Good Luck

I would suggest you open an account with an online broker like Ameritrade or Scottrade.  I suggest you go to your local library and see if they have the Value Line Investment Survey.  If they do, an new issue comes out weekly.  Value Line rates stocks based on timeliness (what are they expected to do over the next year), safety (the level of risk for the stock) and technical.  I use it to do my own research on stocks.  \n\nI found that I had to be an investor rather than a trader.  The difference to me is that I don't have the nerve to day trade.   By investing I don't get so caught up in the day to day of the market and I focus on the companies that I have stock in or am thinking about buying.\n\nIt works for me
