I'm trying to familiarize myself with Value Line Investment Survey, one of the major sources for stock screening on this MI board. I want to assure myself that if this board disappeared (as the Motley Fool MI board did a few years ago), I could "DIY" some of the screens that I'm currently using, thanks to the generosity of those who post current rankings.

I'm making some progress, using Keystone only because it is a fairly simple screen. My biggest problem is I don't understand where the criteria "Total Return - 26 week" is supposed to come from. The Value Line screener has an item "Total Return," but that appears to be for the last fiscal year (according to the label it applies to that column in the screen results). So where do the other periods (13, 26 weeks, and most recent full year) come from?

Thanks for whatever guidance you can offer me!
