not should have read 'now' - sorry.

Thoughts on Individual Stock Selection

I'm not sure what you mean by 'ranges'. I look for lower than normalized P/Es, P/CFs, P/BVs [compared with the same company's historical levels] and a higher than typical yield [on dividend paying stocks.

If a stock usually trades at 15x EPS I might be very interested if it's not at 9 - 12X. If it typically yielded 2% I'd like it much better with a 3 - 4% yield at the present time.

I use Value Line and Standard and Poors reports. Value Line gives data back around 15 - 16 years on most stocks.

They show all company data for a particular year directly under that same year's stock chart which is quite useful.

I hate VL's rating system but love their data presentation.
