Add Defense and Offense Reports
TK 6 had the Defense and Offense Reports. My new club is using SSG Plus, and I am greatly missing those D&O reports. Defense used to be particularly helpful in keeping us honest on our chartings, as it showed how earnings etc did vs. how we charted - could see trends for over optimisim by some of us etc.

Add a separate "My First Cut" tab formatted with First Cut questions that can be shared along with an SSG
The SSG is a multiple choice, fill in the blank form without explanations. The First Cut provides supportive information on your rational - an essay to support your selections in the SSG. This tab would not need to have repetitive information like the header info of the current FC but offer an opportunity for explaining the "why" questions supporting SSG decisions. Sharing this with clubs along with your SSG would help them understand your judgments.

Auto-update prices in a portfolio or the whole account
Add a feature that keeps the studies in a portfolio up-to-date with price updates. This would be a setting. Once set, would the system update the studies daily without user intervention.

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.

Show horizontal scroll at the bottom of the My Studies list
I like the SSG library but find it difficult to maneuver through the list. It would be helpful if a horizontal scroll bar was visible all the time instead of having to scroll to the bottom of the list to see the other columns.

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.
