Automated stock searches are one of the most entertaining and useful tools you will find in your stock investing activities. As computers become faster and more powerful and stock exchanges release more and more of their data for free in real time, individual investors are able to comb through the thousands and thousands of stocks, mutual funds and ETFs that are available to them in just seconds.
