Looking to learn how to use Finviz to find undervalued stocks and investment ideas? In this full length course video, I walk through the Finviz stock screening tool in complete detail. While many investors know about stock screening at a high level, unfortunately many don't fully understand all the filters they are using or have access to. I made this video to walk through each filter in full detail from the perspective of an investor with over a decade of investing experience and a Master of Science in Finance. At the end of the video, I share with you four example screens that I have used on my own investing journey. Note: I am not affiliated with Finviz, I just like their product as an investor.
