Description:

I take the IBD 200 and find the best timing rating based on vector vest. I only take those with a 1.6 TIMING rating or higher where 0 is the worst 1 is neutral 2 is the best
I also listed the "VST" (best combination of value-safty-timing)

I suggest that you decrease the amount of money invested into these individual stocks so that you can invest in MORE of them, as the average expected return of these are high, and you are looking to catch the "homerun stock"
Also as these are generally "boom or bust" stocks, you'll want to set a 10% stop or less... Generally these stocks will not pull back too far unless they lose momentum completely, so you can take away a large portion of the risk by only setting a 3-5% and if you sell out quickly, enter another one and try again.

Despite having 40 stocks that passed the screen last time (and the only other time) from 3/26/07-5/07/07 this method still had about an 11% return with a high winrate

Note:as of 5/8 I have checked all of the IBD 200 EXCEPT the bottom 31 which I will complete soon. With 31 yet to be checked, there are 35 that currently pass the screeen
