It seems that the screen step I use to filter out financial and real estate companies is no longer working.
Most of the current tickers are financial companies, and it seems they have trbc2.s = 40.
If I add that to the FINwithRE filter:

FINwithRE: pref(if(trbc2.s=55!60!40,1,0),if(sector.s=7,1,if(incd.s=933,1,0)))

then the picks look more normal, but perhaps not completely. This change to trbc2.s would be something Robbie has put in, correct?
SiPro changed their data source back in October as I recall.
