Ask your broker and he will hand you a list of a hundred. You not only have to find great companies, but you have to find them at a price that is reasonable. This area calculates the ratios, which help to provide those answers. The top line shows the yearly high, low and present prices. A quick visual inspection tells you if today's price is near the yearly high or low.
Some investors are interested in shares that are high and running.
Others look for value in shares where the present price has retreated from its highs. If the price is down, there should be a reason. When the price drops considerably, the SSG quickly shows the company as a buy, often too quickly . Columns A, B, C, and YEAR are places where the year, high and low prices, and the EPS for each year are listed. This has an effect of making the supply of available stock smaller, and market forces require buyers to pay a premium for their ownership.
