  3. Re-think Debt to Capital Ratio

    Re-think the use of the Debt to Capital Ratio (D/C). Most members don’t understand what capital is. I have always assumed it is a measure of the financial strength of a company. If that’s the case, the ratio ignores the ability of the company to service its debt and its available cash, equivalents and marketable securities. Either make a strong argument for retaining the ratio, or consider other measures of the financial strength of companies in general. Consider using the Debt to Equity Ratio (D/E) or Interest Coverage (or “Times Interest Earned”) as a means to measure the financial strength…

  4. Enhance PDFs to show all plots.

    When I make a PDF to print or share, extra plots, such as dividends or shares outstanding, are eliminated. It would be greatly beneficial to maintain all plots and their positional relationships as I have them in the SSG Plus graph.

  5. On the 'Compare Peers' page, legend/graph colors should be consistent from one tab to the next

    When moving from one tab to the next on the comparing peers screen it would be a lot easier if the graphs for each of the peers was always the same color.

  6. Add to Section 3 the Average P/E Ratio, Current P/E Ratio, Relative Value, Projected P/E Ratio, PEGY Ratio, Projected Relative Value

    Add to Section 3 the Average P/E Ratio, Current P/E Ratio, Relative Value, Projected P/E Ratio, PEGY Ratio, Projected Relative Value, TTM EPS, FTM EPS and Avg TTM + FTM EPS similar to Section 3 of Toolkit 6. When using SSGPlus I have to always access my Toolkit 6 program to view these items in TK6 Section 3 as I have not yet found an equivalent in SSGPlus.

    Average P/E ratio, current P/E ratio, TTM EPS have been in SSGPlus section 3 since launch.
    Relative value, PEG and Projected P/E ratio were added in the ‘Ratios’ tab of SSGPlus.
    This issue is now closed.
    The addition of FTM EPS is covered under a separate issue here: https://feedback.betterinvesting.org/forums/220694-stock-selection-guide-tools/suggestions/8059056-add-ftm-eps-and-the-average-of-ttm-and-ftm-eps-to
    The addition of PEGY is covered under a separate issue here: https://feedback.betterinvesting.org/forums/220694-stock-selection-guide-tools/suggestions/42038431-add-pegy-to-the-ssgplus

  7. Add sortable columns Member Sentiment

    Allow the columns in member sentiment to be sortable. If rows are selected or unselected then keep them in that status during the sort process.

  8. I want to see the ACE numbers, S&E, for the next two years as points on the SSG as well as the ability to add data out to year five.

    In TK we can input data for earnings and sales for the next 5 years. We fill in the ACE numbers from YF for the next two years and if we have a VL we add the numbers for year 5.

  11. Quarterly Data

    Limit the Quarterly Data X-axis scale to 50% so the plots will not be compressed, making judgements near 10% data difficult.

  12. Allowing locking of data on an SSG.

    Allowing locking of data on an SSG to prevent accidental updates if more than 1 SSG on a company. Some keep a separate SSG for each addl buy of a co. Locking would prevent accidental updating of that SSG.

    User entered data is now locked on a row-by-row basis.
    We advise that all ‘non-changed’ data is kept unlocked so it is automatically updated (upon a user initiated refresh/update) in the case of a stock split.

  14. Put a line under Section 3 that will give the RV and the Projected PEG (Current PE/ Est EPS Growth Rate).

    Please put a line under the SSG Plus Section 3 that will give the RV calculated as (Current PE/5-Yr Avg PE) and the Projected PEG calculated as (Current PE/ Est EPS Growth Rate). These are very important valuation measures.

    Relative Value according to my old Stock Analyst manuals:
    " Good value is present when the current P/E is less than the historical average P/E ratio. This is measured by dividing the current P/E by the average P/E (x 100) to produce a figure called the Relative Value...This is the best overall measure of the reasonableness of a current P/E multiple...Relative…

  16. Add "Prices current as of xx/xx/xx" to top of section 3

    At the top of Section 3, there is plenty of room on the top line that displays the stock prices. How about adding "Prices current as of: xx/xx/xx". When working on an older study, the original date is shown in the title bar, so it's not necessarily clear that the prices displayed at the top of section 3 are more current than the Study Name/Date.

  17. Reports:

    On the report PDFs: The Diversification Report file name includes the PORTFOLIO name. The Summary and PERT do not, but should (as should ALL report PDFs).

  18. PERT Report PDF

    If the report extends to more than one page, the headers should be repeated at the top of each page. Also, occasionally when I print a multi-page PERT Report, the last stock on the first page is split in half -- the top half is on one page, the bottom half of the row is on the top of the second page. The report needs to be generated in a way that will prevent this split.

  19. PERT problem

    Today Craig Jacobsen and I noticed the Online Portfolio Pert report gave three companies pink flags in sales when the forecast percents were lower than the actual last 1/4 sales. Namely LOW, CMI and FDS. A Toolkit PERT with the same front page forecast had no pink in the sales columns. Perhaps there is a problem with the Online PERT. Check it out if you have time. Thanks.

  20. Allow Portfolio Summary Report to be Printed as Sorted on the Screen

    I can set up a portfolio to follow, and on the screen I can reorganize the stocks in the portfolio in alphabetical order, but when I go to print the list of the stocks in the Summary Report, they always print in the original order. Allow the Summary Report to print as sorted and shown on the screen.
