Yes, the Screener will work equally well in Tipperary or Timbuktu; Beijing or Bali; Cork or Cape Town.

My youngest granddaughter recently opened an investment account and after studying Val’s Stock Screener for a few months, purchased her very first lot of stocks based on what she had seen. She intends to hold them and watch the power of compounding work.

I cannot promise that, and nobody honest can. The screener gives you a short list of quality shares that pass fixed, written criteria. What you do next is your decision, and it is not financial advice.

Prices, company size, valuations and the published analyst figures all come from public market data for every share listed on the NYSE and NASDAQ, together with a huge list of special standards made and held privately by Val. These will never be disclosed. Prices for the stocks Val has chosen are refreshed centrally every trading day, Monday to Friday: one hour after the US market opens, every half hour while it is open, and again as soon as it closes.

Typically around 15, and never more than 15. There is no minimum, so if only nine shares clear the criteria you see nine. Never more than 3 shares from the same sector inside a category.

Your 5 Fast Scans have no clock, so they simply sit on your account until you use them. Weeks of unlimited scanning do run to a finishing date, and your clock only starts on your first Scan.

Scan as often as you like. I run the full market scan centrally twice a week, but a quick Fast Scan only takes a moment and is a great way to check in after any market move.

Yes. The first time a language is opened, it may take a few moments to prepare — that is normal, not a broken site. After that, it loads instantly for everyone.

The Full Scan is the deep pass across the whole market that builds the list. I run it centrally, twice a week, and check the result before publishing it, so it can never fail in your hand. You never need to run one yourself.

Each list is split into 3 categories by company size. Category 1 is smaller companies, roughly $650M to $20B. Category 2 is mid sized, roughly $20B to $100B. Category 3 is the big names, roughly $100B to $500B. Inside any one category you will never see more than 3 shares from the same sector, so the list stays spread out. I do not wish to include the major MEGA CAPS and these are excluded.

No. Revolut is easy and reliable, and it is one way to trade stock. Apart from Revolut, you can use any trading platform or broker that suits you. One of the reasons I mention REVOLUT is because I use it myself and also because they are about to become a big presence in the USA.

NO! It is pay as you go only. Nothing EVER renews automatically and without permission, and there is nothing to cancel.

No. Val's Stock Screener is an information tool and an honest starting point for your own research. It is not financial advice, and it is not a recommendation to buy or sell anything.

You will see a great variety of reliable stocks. Every Monday, experience indicates that I find between 100 to 180 stocks on a Full Scan that meet my stringent criteria. In order to remove any personal bias in choosing the final 15 shares I then randomly choose up to 15 to present to you. On the first four Mondays of every cycle the names are entirely new: not one company from the week before is repeated. On the 5th Monday I give you the best of the stocks seen over those four weeks, and each one still has to pass every rule on that day. Then the process resumes once more. 15 is the most you will ever see, never a target, so in a weak week the list can be shorter.
