Well instead of choosing just one, why not look at them all and create a Custom Consensus of some of Kevin's winningest strategies. This too is a great strategy for picking winning stocks from many diversified diversified (di·verˑ·s approaches. Because aside from using the Zacks Rank for many of the screens, there are many other filters layered on top of it to find the best stocks from different styles. The screens Kevin is currently using in his Custom Consensus strategy come loaded with the Research Wizard Instructional help in an application or system development environment that guides the user through a series of multiple choice questions to accomplish a task.

If they appear in two or more screens, they qualify for the Consensus portfolio. Here are five stocks from this week's (11/7/05) Consensus list.
