Add quarterly data to book values for banks.
Otherwise we are working with old Q data for book value and current Q data for the other info. We can go to the banks reports for this info but since Mstar likely already has it in their data banks they should be able to add it and save us the extra work.

I would like to see options to the first or third page of the SSG PRO graph lines that would display over time the Stock Price/ Sales ratio.
I recommend graphs be added to the SSG's to show , over time, the flow of the following ratios: Stock Price/Sales (P/S), Stock Price/Free cash flow (P/FCF) or (P/CF), and Debit/Equity. Plotting these points would help materially in selecting quality stocks.

Link Research Tab Items to videos describing/explaining their use
The Research Tab on the SSG is a gold mine of information.
Often, there are either Stock Up or Ticker Talk videos that explain how to use those Research Tabs.Unfortunately, many times I can't find/remember where the videos are that explain how to use some of the Research Tab features. It would be very helpful to have a hyperlink on the Research tab item that links it to the latest video that explains how to use it.
Ann and Ken could also use the absence of a linkage to identify candidates for future Ticker Talk/Stock Up subjects.

Projecting the Future Stock Price
Add a second (or optional) calculation to the second page of the SSG to use the Price/Sales (P/S) ratio and the forecasted sales growth to calculate the forecasted stock price over 5 years. This will provide another metric to quantify the increase in the stock price.

Save featured list
I ran a screen and then reviewed each screen item using the preview option. On the ones I was interested in, I selected "Save to filter list" (see screenshot immediately below). Next, I opened the filtered list (see second screenshot "Show Filtered Items" below in green).
Based on the online training videos I watched, I think "Show Filtered Items" below in green is fairly new. I really like the feature, but would like to be able to save my filtered list for viewing later. Is there a way to do this?

Enable searching on zones for completed SSGs so you can quickly identify stocks that have entered buy or sell zones.
In the display of one’s studies, there’s a column that shows whether or not the SSG is complete. Why not show which zone the stick is in? The answers would be Buy, Hold, Sell, or Incomplete.

Outliers & Historical P/Es
When one excludes an EPS in Section1, it is likely the High and Low EPS will be outliers in Section 3- automatically exclude them. Additionally/Alternatively allow the user to exclude P/Es in the historical graph. Right now FB and SBUX 10-year historical graphs are pretty useless due to one or more year have extremely high P/Es.

Revise the layout of the "Determine Low Price - Next 5-Years" window
The top choice "Your Low Stock Price Forecast" should be the last choice instead of the first. Users are prone to complete this and ignore the remaining options. If the 2nd choice , Low PE area is not completed, the Total Return using the Average PE in Section 5 can adversely be affected. Additionally, add "Update" to the the TTM EPS in the second area.
A better title for the field may be "Determine Low P/E and Selected Low Price". See the attached for a layout suggestion.33 votes -

Use Correct Data
The SSG Plus and Core are pulling incorrect data from Morningstar for Gentex resulting in flawed analyses for the companies.
One example is that BI and Morningstar report GNTX released dividends of $0.33 per share for 2018. In fact, GNTX posted dividends of $0.44 per share.
I wonder, how come these basic data are incorrect? What other data are incorrect and resulting in flawed analyses?
Idea: Create a data quality verification algorithm to ensure your vendors are supplying you with correct inputs so your customers (members) can create correct outputs. I would urge you to remember that a vendor's Garbage…

Display Pre-Tax Profit on CoreSSG
Please add the PTP Chart and Line on the CoreSSG. This is fundamental information that helps us determine whether a company is growing.
The chart should be added between Step 1: Historical Sales and Step 2: Historical Earnings Per Share.
Then, the PTP Line could be displayed on the Historical Stock Price Review.
See attached File.
