Any other Stockopedia users here?

Been a subscriber for a year now.  For me it's paid for itself about 30 times over with gains from SLP

Anyone looked at James O'Shaughnessy's Tiny Titan's screen lately?

It's up 162% in 5 years for UK stocks, helped significantly past 12 months by post covid crash performance at +82%.

Similar results to Jim Slater's Zulu over 5 years.

Thinking of doing a small investment in each on the 25 stocks on the Titan screen as a bit of a punt. 

Any thoughts or alternative suggestions?

Also interested to know if your thoughts on the service are also as positive as mine......

I've been thinking of joining, I looked at my friends account and it looks complicated to understand, can I just copy these pro investors? I've only got 8k to invest and unsure how much value it will offer me.

Thanks

I used Stockopedia briefly and did not find it useful. It presents information that is available elsewhere and makes some rash assumptions (eg that growth in earnings per share will continue in a way that is similar to the recent past). The decision that I made on the basis of Stockopedia did turn out well for me, but really depended on the quality of the company's technology and Stockopedia had nothing to say on this crucial issue.

I agree with voyager, there really isn't anything there that I can't get for free elsewhere - or at least nothing that I understand

The company financial info is available elsewhere for free of course. I buy it mainly for stock ranks and guru screens. 

For example, 1 year ago I thought it worth a small investment in an airline at the depressed share prices available.

The 4 European airlines I looked at in some detail were -

IAG - 

April 20 stock rank 43, SP £1.57
April 21 stock rank 16, SP £2.10

Easyjet -

April 20 stock rank 44, SP £6.70
April 21 stock rank 36, SP £9.72

Ryanair -

April 20 stock rank 94, SP 9.75 euro
April 21 stock rank 29, SP 16.28 euro

Wizzair -

April 20 stock rank 96, SP £26.74
April 21 stock rank 54, SP £49.39

Obviously I looked at company metrics as well as stock rank and it was clearly a toss up between Ryanair and Wizzair. I chose Wizzair because they were stronger than Ryanair financially. I only kept the shares a few months, selling them in the summer, but still made a tidy profit.

Over the past year  the SP of both IAG and Easyjet (both with a stock rank in mid 40's 1 year ago) has more or less tracked the recovery of the FTSE250, whereas the SP of both Ryanair and Wizzair (both with a stock rank in mid 90's 1 year ago) has significantly outperformed.

My main winner, which I would never have discovered had I not used the filters available on the site, and their stock ranking system, is SLP. It had a stock rank of 100 when I first started buying the shares 1 year ago at 40p. I've topped up a few times since and it still has a stock rank of 99 today, the shares now trading at £1.19  It's now one of my core investments.

What you'll find with published stock screens is that (a) Plenty of other investors will be buying the stocks (b) Market makers read the same press. Prices may spike upwards in the short term. I find them useful as a base point to perform your own due diligence and research on the individual companies before purchasing a later date.  Prices can drift backwards if there's no new company announcements to spark further interest.
