How many stocks are actually worth a look?
Each stock earns up to 5 quality points. Most cheap stocks score low. Green bars (4 to 5) are the keepers.
Buy, wait, or skip
Green = buy now, blue = watch for later, red = skip. Most of the list is a skip.
Where the cheap stocks sit, by sector
How the universe is spread across industries.
How many stocks pass each quality test?
Five simple tests. Fewest pass the dividend-safety test, which is the hardest and the most important.
The strongest names overall
Stocks scoring 4 or 5 out of 5. Green = a perfect 5.
Which sectors score best on average
Average quality score per sector. Taller is better.
Profit vs price: are you paying a fair price for the profit?
Each dot is a stock. Right and up = more profit (ROE). Far right on price (PE) means more expensive. Green dots are buys.

Value traps
paying more than they earn
Which dividends are paid from real cash?
Up = bigger dividend. Right = more cash backing it. Left of the line (under 1x) means the cash does not cover the dividend: a red value trap. Green is safe.
The value traps to avoid
These pay a tempting yield, but free cash does not cover it. The yield is a promise the cash cannot keep.
How big are the dividends on offer?
Dividend yield of the paying stocks, grouped into bands.
The buy shortlist
