I just set up an account with Scottrade recently and I'm using the Dow 4 strategy. Now I'm looking to take some ventures outside of the established stocks. I'm following the advice from Jason Kelly's book, The Neatest Little Guide to Stock Market Investing. I have trouble finding some data and was wondering if anybody can help me. Here are some questions:


Where can I find a company's sales? I'm looking in the balance sheet and I'm guessing the sales is Total Revenue.
Where can I find Total Debt for the TTM? Or is it only reported at the end of the previous year?
Where can I find Sales per Share? Do I divide the company's sales by the shares outstanding? Is there a faster way to do this?That's all of the questions I have for now. Thank you in advance for your help.

"Rule # 1" by Robert Town does a great job making Yahoo.finance understandable
