Yes, the method screens for stocks that are good candidates for generating cash flow and are not likely to go bankrupt. There is no attempt being made to predict whether a stock is going to go up or down over any particular time frame.

Maybe we need to get our own thread to discuss this over in the "Money" section?

I think the fact that you followers have spent 5 pages and 10 hours defending the "Snider Method" confirms to me that it's all BS. If I learned the holy Grail to investing (that cost me $2500 to obtain) I certainly wouldn't be trying to sell people on it. I'd quietly be sitting back and watching myself get rich.

I'll stick to the old fashion - Warren Buffet method of investing, I.e., P/E ratio and lots and lots of research.
