Screen of the Week written by  Kevin Matras  of Zacks Investment Research: 


Over the last few weeks, I have found myself screening for stocks with the best
Relative Price Changes in an effort to determine whether a stock is good or not.



Of course, this doesn't mean you should only look at its price change. But by
including those kinds of things in your screening, some very interesting stocks
will come up.  

You'll also notice I said relative price strength. Of course, there are periods
when virtually everything is going down. So screening for absolute positive
price changes will often times come up with zero results in these periods, just
when you need them the most.  

But also, when the market is doing nothing but going up, you want to get into
the pacesetters and outperformers, not the laggards that are going up only
because the rising tide is raising all the ships.  

So using the relative price strength will always put the outperformers on your
list in both good times and bad. In this week's screen, I'm looking for relative
price change winners that also have the fundamentals to potentially make these
gains lasting and continue.
