First Reaction to Google Stock Screener: 7.8/10

By Paul Kedrosky · Thursday, April 3, 2008 ·

I've been pining for a better stock screener since Reuters shut down theirs and ruined 2007 for me. Okay, I exaggerate a little, but I was distressed.

Now, however, we have Google Stock Screener. And my first reaction? I like it. Lots of criteria to scan by, a nice interface, etc.

Biggest issues: Less flexibility about adding custom & calculated criteria than I'd like, no analyst recommendation data, and no ability to monitor the output for changes dynamically.

I know there are oodles of Google Finance people who read this, so listen up. Make the changes. You have a killer product on your hands.
