I am looking fro a good stock screener. I have some disposable income and wish to put some in the market. I have dabbled in the past and find it to be a nice diversion. I am using TradeKing for my broker. the offer everything I need and are cheep cheep. I am however looking for a good comprehensive stock screener. Something that I can find and sort out companies are relevant to my interests. I want to be able to type in unobtanium and be able to see a list of companies working on extracting it as well as other useful screening tools. I know of a few I was just hoping for a little extra Doper knowledge. ---

FinViz has a great free [screener.](http://finviz.com/screener.ashx?v=111&ft=4) It sounds like you might be interested in messing around with the “sector” and “industry” lists. ---
