Zweig & Zacks Screen

A few of you have commented on the 0% return that the Zweig & Zacks screen has shown so far this year. There haven't been any passing stocks on this screen for several weeks.

The screen looks for any stocks in AAII's Zweig screen that have a #1 ranking from Zack's Research.

I've been wondering recently if I could use the number of passing companies in the Zweig screen and/or the number of companies that have a number 1 ranking on Zack's to get a feel for the market. The Zweig screen averages about 15 stocks each month. Lately, only about 10 have shown up on the screen. And as I said before, none of those stocks have qualified for a number 1 ranking on Zacks. Interesting.
