Stock Screener for Phil Town's Rule #1 Investing

Welcome to #individualinvestor!

After reading Rule #1 Investing by Phil Town, I decided to start looking for #stocks that fit the majority of the criteria. YCharts turns out to have a great stock screening tool with relevant filters you can use to quickly build a list of these stocks. You will find it helpful, and I hope that @PhilTownRule1Investing would agree with this himself!

Remember that for proper Rule #1 Investing, you have to stay within your circle of competence, and make sure you double check the numbers from the screener yourself.

I might start a Rule #1 portfolio in the near future. Are you a Rule #1 Investor yourself? I'm curious to hear your feedback and comments, please leave them below!

Thanks for this video. Great job. All of the comments are from a year or more ago. Do you have any thoughts to add today?

Looks like a great tool for screening & sorting. Thanks for taking the time to explain the setup.

I recently made more purchases. Saving money for a market downturn is likewise a bad idea. There are numerous ways to look at recessions and depressions, we cannot always expect to make large returns, and taking chances is better than doing nothing. The bottom line is that you will achieve remarkable results by diversifying your portfolio and making wise decisions. My portfolio's raw earnings rose by $608k in just 5 months.

Hi great video. However, quick question. I too have read the book, but I'm pretty sure he says that the MACD etc. is used when you've made a potential mistake and want to get out of your position. In a way, taking a traders mind set to get out when the stock is at a peak and about to drop. Apart from that, my understanding is he says to hold the companies for a long time until the valuation no longer makes sense. I saw one of your videos where you are buying or selling based on the MACD and other trading data points which I think goes against what he is saying in the book. Keen to get your perspective.

Thanks for the walkthrough of the screener. Can this screener also find out stocks that are available at discount? ie 30% (and above) below their fair or intrinsic value? That is another but important part of Rule# 1 principles.

is the TSM stock you bought is one of the stocks that pass the rule#1 screener?

[telavivinf]

is it possible to take a random stock and check all the big five numbers in the same layout like like this screener?

Crazy how few stocks that are real rule1 stocks

Thanks. this video amazed me. it came to me as a surprise that it is possible to filter stocks like that. i mean i just finshed reading the book and i was sure that any rule#1 investor should start by open all stock one by one and manually check the "big five numbers". things has been changed from 2006.
Anyway, There are 2 things that concerns me now:
1. 100 stocks comply? thats all? i mean how one would find those 100 stock out of 30, 000 stocks without the screener? the book dont tell us about any screener, no?
2. I checked one of these 100 screend stocks. (GOOG which is google) and found that thier free cash flow growth rate is 4.05% so how come it passes this screener?
