Find The Best Stock Bargains With A Stock Screener

To use a stock screener, you need to have a fairly good grasp of investor words and strategies.  If you're a novice investor, you may wish to skip individual stocks and invest in an "index fund".  An index fund buys into many different stocks and essentially goes up or down with the overall market.  Even expert investors often find it difficult to outperform index funds.  The Vanguard Index Fund is a popular low-cost choice.

Sites such as MSN Money and Yahoo! Finance offer free stock and fund screeners to help you screen stocks and funds using your own criteria.  These tools are fairly simple to operate, yet sophisticated enough for nearly any investor.  You can see another good stock screener and a mutual fund screener at Morningstar.com.
