This website attempts to automate much of the calculations described in Phil Town's Rule #1 investing book. (As well as his second book, Payback Time.)

To use the website, simply enter in a stock ticker symbol and let this site do its magic.

The data for this website is pulled from various sources such as Morningstar, Yahoo Finance, MSN Money, etc.

If you wanted to mirror many of these calculations in a spreadsheet, you can check out Phil Town's PDF explaining this step-by-step.

NOTE: This site is for personal investing purposes only. Any analysis on this site should be used at your own discretion. Obviously investing always carries some risk, but if you follow the principles in Rule #1 investing, then this site should be a "one stop shop" for all the calculations/resources you may need.
