Momentum Stock Screening Framework

The universe of stocks is vast. The universe of stocks worth owning right now is usually fewer than twenty. This framework reduces thousands of candidates to a focused watchlist using six objective filters.

Why This Matters

O'Neil's CANSLIM system established the research basis for combining fundamental quality with technical price momentum. The insight was that the best institutional buying — which drives the price moves that create profits — concentrates in stocks showing both exceptional earnings acceleration and the technical characteristics of Stage 2 breakouts. This screening framework applies those six filters sequentially to produce a focused, actionable watchlist.
