I always mess around with different stock screens to come up with new ideas.  In today's troubling market, I always float to companies with low beta and a growing dividend. 

I get a handful of names that I like to use.

What are screens that you typically use to generate ideas? 

As an example:

An Accelerating Growth with Yield screen I sometimes use

1.) 5-year EPS growth greater than 20%

2.) EPS growth past 5-years over 10%

3.) Dividend yield of over 3% 

This screen finds stocks that have accelrating earnings from 5 years ago to 5 years from now, that will yield over 3% in the meantime.

Are there any screens that you would like to share, only to help out fellow traders generate ideas.

Thanks,

Mike
