Total noob. Don't know where to start. I'm not doing anything until I learn at least a few things. So, when I'm screening stocks for swing trading, what would be your most fundamental criteria to find a stock. i.e what would be your first two or three basic filter settings be? [obviously price is one since I don't want to be mucking about with $100 stocks.] There's 1.73 gazillion ways to chart/screen, and 53.65 gagillian strategies, etc. I'm just looking for a few basic priorities/filter settings so I can start a few charts (looking at charts isn't as good as making charts.)

I'm retired. Have a normal portfolio, which is fine. But, it takes ... so ... loooonnnng. Tried a little swing trading a few years back (before retirement.) Now that my time is my own, I want to get back into it. I would consider myself a total noob. This time I need to start from scratch and actually learn what I'm supposed to be doing. Those pictures with all the squiggly lines and numbers and such probably mean something I should know. So, that's what I will endeavor to do. I intend to study using my current portfolio and then transfer the influx of that knowledge to my online portfolio and not lose my shirt or my pants or my cats or my pigs or my dog.
