  1. Add the capability to import SSG studies that have been sent by another club member.

    The SSGPlus does not have the capability to import SSG studies that have been sent by another club member. You can export your files so others can view your stock studies, but the SSGPlus does not have the ability to import studies from others. The import capability should gohand-in-hand with the export capability.

  3. Show Sales % Growth Rate in Preferred Procedure

    In the Preferred Procedure screen under the column of Sales numbers it would help to show the Historical Sales % Growth Rate since we are asked to enter our % Judgment Forecast. Also be able to remove Sales Outliers while in the Preferred Procedure screen so can see the % change.

    Hi,
    The upside/downside ratio is immediately updated after prices are updated/refreshed. The prices can be updated by individual study or by portfolio from the ‘My Studies’ page.
    The updated upside/downside ratio is shown in the study as well as the applicable portfolio reports.
    Regards,
    BetterInvesting

    You can update all studies in the account by clicking on the ‘Portfolios’ bar on the ‘My Studies’ screen then looking for the ‘All Studies’ row and clicking on the Refresh (circular) icon to refresh/update the data in all studies.
    You also have the ability to update all studies in a single user-defined portfolio in a similar manner.

  12. Adding Return on Assets as an “Evaluate Management” metric when studying bank stocks

    According to many resources, Return on Assets (ROA) is one of the best ways to evaluate profitability of a bank. %Pre-tax Profit on Sales is less useful when evaluating a bank, so I would suggest replacing that line with ROA for banks.

    The calculation is done in one of 2 ways:
    Return on Total Assets (ROTA) = CY Net Profit / CY Total Assets
    Return on Average Assets (ROAA) = CY Net Profit / ((CY Total Assets + PY Total Assets)/2)

    Where CY = current year; PY = previous year

    Both are used. ROTA would result in a more conservative…

  13. Add a screener option to find up, straight, and parallel companies.

    The mantra of BI is to find up, straight, and parallel companies. The screener should have an option to find these companies.

    This was implemented in September 2023 with the new 'A-List Companies' pre-defined screen for SSGPlus users. The A-List Companies screen returns all companies that pass every historical data audit check or fail only one check. No valuation criteria are included.

  15. Allow the ability to update all relevant studies as a group rather than one at a time

    It is time consuming and annoying to have to update all stocks for a club meeting one at a time. This should be changed to allow one step updating.

    Thanks for submitting and voting on this feature! It can now be accomplished by setting up a portfolio, adding the relevant stocks and then you can update the SSGs (either just prices or price and data) as a group. See the Portfolio Quick Start Guide available from the tools ‘Help and Information’ Tab for more information.

  16. Show actual name in file manager along with ticker

    Many of us do not have company names memorized by ticker.

  17. Allow the user to update their study from within the study display

  18. Under research tab have the sites grouped by type of information being sought.

    For example:
    Research (the heading tab)
    EPS estimates
    ----------------- Yahoo (linked to section with EPS estimates)
    ----------------- Reuter (etc)
    Competitors
    ----------------- Yahoo (linked to section with EPS estimates)

    This would serve to prompt the analyst to go to the better sites to consistently get quality information on the topic of interest.
