What resources do you use to help pick your stocks?

I have some $ in ETFs , but I like looking for and picking individual stocks as well.

What resources do you use to help you pick stocks? I read some Motley Fool articles and picks, I look at the charts and graphs and 1-year target price info on Yahoo Finance, and I was thinking of getting a Zack's Investment Research subscription to get their list of #1 Strong Buy stocks (They say their #1 buy stock picks have returned about 25% per year since 1988 or something...Maybe that is skewed by a few really big winners and the others are flat. I don't know...)

With however many thousands of stocks there are, I would like someone else to do most of the heavy listing and analysis for me, winnowing out the lower quality stocks with less potential, so I can make a more informed, educated selection (guess? gamble?).

So what resource do you think provides the best, most accurate, time-tested analysis that you would trust to help you make purchasing decissions?
