The program seeks to implement the magic formula from Joel Greenblatt's book 'The Little Book That Beats The Market' on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX).

It scrapes data from a variety of sources and stores it an Sqlite database. It then sorts the results according to the magic formula and prints out the results.

My current sources are:

• Google - for a list of stocks and their current market caps
• ASX - for stock sector information
• MorningStar - for the previous year's financial data

• Add command-line options (one to scrape data, one to print data)
• Add database path to config file
• Add market cap to config file
• Add sector filters to config file
• Look at using Herald Sun stock data instead (doesn't require user login)

Use at your own risk! I'm a programmer, not a professional investor. I would therefore advise anyone looking to use this program to examine the data that I have obtained, and how I use it (and then let me know if you find any errors!).
