Stock screeners are more of a tool than anything else. It actually helps me weed out potential investments to look for. What I have noticed is different screens seem to have a slightly different set of rules to screen by. And the information updates are not always on the same page so I always compare.

I certainly agree following a single metric for stock selection is bound to lead investors to trouble. However, I think the post doesn't put enough value on the stock screeners available. I for one start my searches using those tools, but you're right that the search shouldn't stop their. From what I've found, there are no sites that also provide more complex valuation models, or track dividend history which will be up to us. On an aside, I hope you continue posting while abroad, and maybe us back at home can learn how canucks without european residencies can get into those markets more easily. Good luck!

A diversified mix of Index Funds will be more than enough for most people. But then again you have these dividend growth investors, who just want to have increasing dividend income forever :-) Good comment TDG.
