I don't normally trade equities, so this may be a somewhat basic question. Please bear with me ;-)
Over the last few weeks I've followed the soap opera that is SCOX (disclosure: I'm short) and a thought struck me: At any given time there must be at least a few dozen companies on Nasdaq alone that are doing similar things - for instance conduct nuisance litigation, overreach themselves, fight with outside investors, etc.
Screening a stock universe for numeric criteria is easy enough. What I'd like to do, in a quick and easy way, is to screen stocks for, well, for want of a better word, clear and present boardroom lunacy.
That would be a free text search, not something numeric, possibly involving some human interaction or judgement.
Are there any resources on the web with which to do that ? Doesn't have to be Nasdaq alone, European or Asian stocks would interest me, too.
