In searching for stocks that meet certain investment criteria, you may' Screen' a large sample to identify one or more to invest in. You can also establish a screen, which is a set of criteria against which you measure stocks (or other investments) to find those that meet your criteria. For example, you might screen for stocks that meet a certain environmentally or socially responsible standard, or for those with current price-to-earnings ratios (P/E) less than the current market average.
