Hi Aim Hier, here is a URL link that will bring up the UnderDog screen in the MSN stock screener.

If you have never used the stock screener before, you should be sent to a page to install it. After installing it just click on this link again. In the middle of the page you will see the stock screen. here are the rows top to bottom.

 
 1. Dow Jones Membership              ask me     you select which Dow Jones you want. 
 2. Previous Day's Closing Price      display 
 3. % Price Change Last Year          low as possible 
 4. Previous Day's Closing Price/200-Day Moving Average display  
 5.52-Week High-Previous Day's Closing Price)/(52-Week High-52-Week Low)*-100          display 
 6. 5-Year High Price-Previous Day's Closing Price)/(5-Year High Price-5-Year Low Price)*-100    display 
 7. Current Dividend Yield       display 
 8. Previous Day's Closing Price-52-Week Low)/52-Week Low*100   display 
 9. Previous Day's Closing Price-5-Year Low Price)/5-Year Low Price*100  display 

Three is the only row that is involved in the ranking. all the others are set to display only.
Four is the price/200 day Ma ratio he was talking about. If it is greater than one the stock is above the 200 day MA, if less then it is below it, it is also set on display. Will get to why in a second.
Five and six are the long term William %R i was telling you about.
seven is the current yield of the stock.
Eight and nine are how much the stocks have gained from their lows.

The reason four is set for display is that if you set it for low as possible at the same time that three is set for low as possible the screen can get confused. If you want to rank the stocks by number four all you have to do is click on the column head in the windows where the stocks are showing. in this case it would be column number seven from the left. Hope this helps.
