Deep Value Data Minning:Share Count,Debt,Mean Reversion, Cash, GP% among other dimensions

Specific dimensions were selected in attempt to find companies with share holder friendly management.

Okay I got lazy tonight so click to see the ideas with useful decision making data


Some of the filtered attributes over the 2007 to TTM periods  had

1) reduction in total debt
2) increase  in cash
3) reduction in share count

4)increase in GP%

5) decrease in price over the prior 3 months and 52 weeks
then I drilled down further and asked additional questions before introducing: These are a few for  tonight but will introduce more with additional information
