ETF Screening Sites

[XL-entLady]

There are getting to be a lot of good sites out there to help us pick through and assess ETFs to find the ones we are looking for based on our own individual criteria. I thought maybe we needed a thread dedicated to sharing those sites. I found one just this morning that you all probably already know about because it's Yahoo, and of course Yahoo would have an ETF site. I'd just never seen it before. :embarrest:

I like the way you are able to break down the top ETF performers by biggest price gain, or lowest P/E ratio, or highest volume, etc. It has a good education sub-site as well. :)

Morningstar also has a site:

But it doesn't give you as much price information as the ETF Trends site does:

The Morningstar site does give you volume figures and its little style boxes. But I don't "get" the boxes. I think they're weird. I'm sure it's just that I don't have a sophisticated investment palate yet. It's probably akin to learning to like caviar. :toung:

And then there's the ETF Screen site. It's more my comfort level, not fancy but lots of good basic information. And the more you play around in this site, the more little tricks you find.

So that's my list of screeners to start the thread. What do you think?

Excellent idea my dear. A one-stop shop for screeners instead of trying to remember where we saw a link or posted a link in some miscellaneous thread. How about making it a catch-all thread for stock screen sites too?

Good idea! So I'll again post the site that one of my favorite bloggers calls "My Little Buddy" and that is

www.FreeStockCharts.com (http://www.FreeStockCharts.com)

and of course we can't forget the old stand-by, and my first exposure to technical charts (and the site that J is so adept at)

www.stockcharts.com (http://www.stockcharts.com)
