Investor Legends — famous criteria, test by test.
Eight screens built from criteria well-known investors and researchers published, each with its source
cited on screen:
- Inspired by Peter Lynch — One Up on Wall Street
- Inspired by Benjamin Graham's defensive investor — The Intelligent Investor
- Inspired by Warren Buffett — quality criteria from Berkshire Hathaway annual reports
- Inspired by Joel Greenblatt — the Magic Formula
- Inspired by Joseph Piotroski — the F-Score
- Inspired by John Neff — John Neff on Investing
- Inspired by David Dreman — Contrarian Investment Strategies
- Inspired by William O'Neil — CAN SLIM
The part worth your time is the per-criterion breakdown. Every company gets a
pass/fail line for each test — "passes 6 of 7 Graham tests; fails dividend record: 14 years, needs 20"
— and a near-miss view shows companies one test away. Criteria the data can't support
(like CAN SLIM's market-direction test) are marked "not evaluated", never guessed.
Save any legend or custom screen as a Smart List: a symbol list that refreshes on a
daily, weekly or monthly schedule and logs every company that enters or leaves, with the reason
("left: PEG rose to 1.4, needs below 1"). On the free tier, a Smart List keeps the top matches within
your eight tracked stocks.
The fine print: each screen is GMI's interpretation of published criteria. It is not
affiliated with, endorsed by or reviewed by the investor named, and a company passing a screen is a
description of its numbers, not a recommendation.
