Welcome to Tim's Stock Lists, your road to financial freedom!
What is Tim's Stock Lists all about?
Using years of software engineering, financial analysis, and cloud development skills, Tim has put together several algorithms that query the financial data on all of the stocks listed on the NASDAQ, NYSE, and AMEX exchanges. These algorithms generate lists of stocks and options reports that meet a certain set of criteria, depending on what the investment strategy is for the particular algorithm.

Options Tracking Spreadsheets
Below are links to some spreadsheets that I use regularly to track my options trades. I have found that it is very important to track my profits and losses and to learn from them moving forward.
How do the stock lists work?
Each night, the app downloads stock data on all of the stocks from the NASDAQ, NYSE, and AMEX exchanges. Once downloaded, the data is then processed against the various algorithms to produce the lists of stocks meeting the investment strategy criteria.
Currently there are three stock list strategies:
Growth Stock Lists
The algorithm for this strategy identifies stocks that are generally classified as growth stocks, but with extremely stringent criteria. This algorithm screens stocks that meet the following criteria:
- Positive earnings growth
- P/E ratio that is half the growth rate (or less)
- P/E ratio that is less than the Industry P/E Ratio
- P/E ratio that is less than the Sector P/E Ratio
- Positive net cash position the past year and most recent quarter
- Equity to debt ratio greater than 0.75 for past year and most recent quarter
- Positive net income past year and 12 trailing months
- Free cash flow ratio greater than 0 and less than 10
Small Cap Stocks
Warning - this list is not for the faint of heart! The algorithm for this strategy identifies small cap stocks that are under the radar, growing their revenue at a high rate, and increasing their earnings (even if they are operating at a loss). This algorithm screens stocks that meet the following criteria:
- Revenue growing by at least 20% average per year over the last 5 years
- Market Capitalization under 2 billion
- Price to Sales (P/S) ratio 12 trailing months <= Industry P/S ratio twelve trailing months
- Price to Sales (P/S) ratio 12 trailing months <= Sector P/S ratio twelve trailing months
- Net Income past year > Net Income prior year OR Net Income 12 trailing months > Net Income prior year OR Net Income 12 trailing months > Net Income past year
Dividend Stock Lists
The algorithm for this strategy identifies stocks that in the past have consistently paid dividends and have sound financial fundamentals in place to continue to pay dividends out to their shareholders over a long period of time. This algorithm screens stocks that meet the following criteria:
- Declared an ex-dividend date
- Trailing or forward annual dividend rate greater than 2
- Free cash flow per share greater than trailing annual dividend rate
- Positive net cash position the past year and most recent quarter
- Equity to debt ratio greater than 0.75 for past year and most recent quarter
- Current ratio most recent quarter greater than 2
