First- I use a screener (or picks from the BTS board), using Yahoo finance. Limits I like to put in include- Share price (1-5), share volume (100K min), market cap (100mil-1bil), revenue (min 1mil), profit (min 10%), P/E under 20, and P/B under 10.

I take that list and look at the yahoo profiles, and screen out those that have large insider selling, and contentrate on companies that have at least 10% held by management. Also- must have at least one intitution holding. I take a look at their cash position, and burn rate to make sure they are not going broke in the next couple quarters. One lat thing I look at on the profile page is the short position. A large short position means something is up, imo.

Next I go to the filings. I like to look for legal problems and financing deals. This tells me a lot about the risk involved. Also, look at the numbers for improvement. (I use nasdaq.com). The site also has a good review of insider and institutional transactions.

I like to look at the MSN rating of a company. I use the stockscouter rating for some insight.

I also use quicken for there fundamental help-

Next site is smallcapcenter.com- they usually post news before anyone else. I read through the latest and greatest- trying to get a feel of the direction the company is going. They also have a tech link (try this one, my last buy- http://www.smallcapcenter.com/snapshot_techanalysis.asp?component=compinfo.asp&row=2&page=sn... )

Then I go to clearstation.com to see what the buzz is there, if any (not real active boards there, but seem to be honest). I also look at the 3-point chart to get a sense of direction (example- http://clearstation.etrade.com/cgi-bin/details?Symbol=cbj&Refer=http://clearstation.etrade.com/ )

Then I do my own read at askresearch.com- look for rising indicators and crossovers. Also tight bollinger bands are a sign for an entry. Notice this chart- looks about topped out with the money flow downtrending, and most other indicators topping out. What keeps it going is the strength showing in the MACD, imo. May retract a little, but still a strong runner-

Once I get "my read" from the above- I go to stockta.com for their "read"- http://www.stockta.com/cgi-bin/analysis.pl?symb=CBJ&num1=611&cobrand=

If it still looks good, I'll glance at americanbulls and stockconsultant for further T/A reads, but take them with a grain of salt.
