Stock Research

This page gives members a way to find stocks to present to the club. This page will not do all of the research; it merely offers some useful tools that may give you an idea of which stocks you might want to present. The actual presentation should be composed of much more information than this page can offer.

Useful Links

Here are some web pages that may help you start your research:

• The Google Finance Stock Screener is an incredibly useful tool. It allows you to search the entire market for stocks that follow certain numerical parameters. For instance, you can search for stocks whose shares cost between $5 and $25, or whose PE ratio is less than 15. The Stock Screener also allows you to search within a specific sector, making it very useful for monthly, theme-based VSE games.
• The AOL Finance Earnings Analysis Page summarizes the earnings of any listed stock. It shows seasonal performance, analyst recommendations, estimated earnings and past earnings.
• The Yahoo Earnings Calendar provides information on upcoming earnings reports. Use this page to look for short-term, high-gain stocks.
