Stock screeners

I don't know about you but I find that there are really a lack of really good stock screener options for Canadian stocks. For American stocks, there are plenty of excellent free options like google finance and Finviz.com . Sure the Globe and mail has a filter, but I find it a bit of a pain to use. The filtering is cumbersome but it will have to do until I find a new tool to use. So, readers do you have any good free stock screeners for the Canadian market? If so, please share ideas and links with other readers!

Aggressive vs. Investing Smart

Before we get too far, there's been a lot of misconceptions about the term aggressive investing. Aggressive investing is not stupid investing. It's not about chasing stocks that are overpriced or stocks that don't have growth prospects. It's not about putting all your chips into the market without knowing what you're doing. That's just plain stupid. Aggressive investment doesn't mean investing for the sake of investing. It means investing with the same investment discipline and criteria that you have whether you're 50% invested or 100% invested. The way I see it is if there is value out there, I will put money into it. This is in contrast to what a lot of my friends have been saying about just putting money in the market because it's guaranteed to 'go up'. That's just silly.
