Investors in stocks face two major challenges: how to find and interpret the most useful data from company accounts, and how to narrow down the list of thousands of public companies into a smaller pool of candidates for further research. In his book, "Four Ways to Beat the Market," experienced financial journalist Algy Hall provides the solution to both problems and helps investors in their quest to pick winning shares.

The answer lies in stock screens, which have outperformed the market by 242% to 388% over a decade. Algy starts with four strategies for equity investing: quality, value, income, and momentum. He shows how to construct four stock screens and use data from company accounts, including common accounting ratios, to filter stocks on the criteria that each of these strategies is looking for. Once the shortlist of screened stocks is produced, Algy explains how to use that shortlist as a basis for further analysis and research, before making an investment.

Along the way, Algy also reveals the logical and empirical basis behind Quality, Value, Income, and Momentum strategies, to help investors understand why they work and give them the confidence that they will continue to work in the future. Other hints, tricks, and tactics for investors are revealed to help them spot the best stocks and avoid the duds. With Algy Hall as your guide, discover the surprising ideas and stories that lie behind these strategies, while building the necessary know-how to improve your investment returns.
