I agree that I would be willing to pay a nominal fee for the StockScouter Ratings. I started using them over 8 years ago with approx $50K, and I have been refining my methods AND tracking them faithfully, as well as adding to the pot. I have beaten the
market consistently, essentially doubling the market's 7% return during that time, and can now afford to retire early.
I used to use MSN's screener which allowed you to use Stockscouter ratings as criteria - when that was discontinued, I anticipated that Stockscouter was eventually going away. Since then I have developed, tested, and tracked other sources. My Stockscouter
portfolio remained among the best, providing an actionable, investable set of stocks that do well in both good and bad markets.
As for other alternatives, I've done a lot of testing with Schwab ratings, and find the weekly Monday updates to be too slow to be truly responsive to market changes - in addition, they did not perform as well. My favorite right now is the screener on Fidelity's
website, using the Thomson Reuters Verus ratings. Fidelity is about to change its user interface and screener, so we'll have to see if my screens survive, but they are performing well, albeit a bit more volatile.
