  1. Add an option to the FILE menu to allow for "Add to a Portfolio"

    When completing a study that we want to add to an existing portfolio or watch list, it would be helpful (and simpler) if the user could do that directly from the study, instead of having to return to the list of portfolios and then edit the portfolio to add the stock.

  4. The two date columns in the list of stocks should be more informative

    By default, the original date of the study is added to the name of the stock, so there is no need to show it in a separate column. The much more relevant dates are the Most Recent Price and the Judgment Date, which would be the last date in which any of the judgment items are modified. It would also be helpful to see the Most Recent Quarter date. All three of these dates are available and select-able in the Library listing. Let the user select the one or two preferred dates to be displayed.

  5. Include date on print version Notes and ability to reorder Notes

    Right now it only includes subject and description. The date column would be helpful as you follow the stock over time.

    Also, it would be nice to be able to reorder and/or sort the notes. Sometimes I don't do my research in the order of the SSG but it is easier for club members if I present the information in the logical order of the SSG.

  6. Create a preset search that looks for stocks meeting George Nicholson's Triple-Play.

    George Nicholson's idea of a Triple-Play was briefly mentioned in the old NAIC handbook. With all the great technology in the online SSG tools, it would be nice to have a preset search that would pull in stocks possibly meeting the three requirements for a Triple-Play. Apparently, the aspects of a T/P are found if one has a Value Line account, and many of us don't, or don't have access via libraries.

  7. Filter-Out Stock Screener Results

    In stock screener results,
    One thing i would like is if we could have ability to filter out (i.e. remove say a particular industry, instead of filtering only for a particular industry)

  8. Quick Navigation should be simplified.

    There should only be one field for entry of the ticker. If the company is in the user's database, it should be listed for selection, as it is now. In addition to the company name, there should also be an optional choice to load a new datafile. Having a separate field for entering the ticker for a new company should be unnecessary.

  9. Timely Stock price data feed

    Currently I can get accurate closing prices and updates using TK but not the SSG+ which is a whole day behind. Can this timeliness be improved?

    Changed from ‘under review’ to ‘no status’ as we have no current plans to pursue intra-day pricing. In our review so far we have not discovered a service that will provide intra-day pricing without raising our data services costs dramatically. This issue is being kept open for voting.

  10. Member Sentiment Time Frame

    Add an option to select the last 30, 60 days to the current 90 days of submitted studies.

  12. Print Peer Data

    Could you add a print option for the peer graphs? I tried to print the screen but the output showed the graph printed over the SSG so it was unreadable. A printout of some of the peer graphs would be very useful at club meetings.

  13. Add a timestamp to the Member Sentiment study date so we can tell if a number of studies were done in a short period of time.

    With a timestamp and the study date, we could see if a number of studies were done at essentialy the same time indicating that they were probably all done by the same person or maybe a lot of studies done after an online presentation like Stock Up or Ticker Talk.

  14. Ability to create a new porfolio based upon results of stock search

    I used the search tool to look for Communication Services companies - it would be nice to be able to create a new portfolio of the companies I found by importing into a new portfolio and then work on refining the SSGs once I get them into the new portfolio

  15. Add FTM EPS and the average of TTM and FTM EPS to the Valuation and Return section of the SSGPlus

    Add FTM EPS and the average of TTM and FTM EPS to the Valuation and Return section of the SSGPlus similar to what is done in Toolkit 6 in order that users have a reference value to use for their 'Low EPS Forecast' value.

  16. Allow price override and also display calculated value in Section 4

    In section 4a or 4b, when entering P/E and EPS values to get calculated prices, there are times when it is appropriate to use some value other than the calculated values. In Toolkit, the calculated values are displayed but crossed out, and the adjusted value shown. I would prfer that action, rather than showing only the adjusted value. If I adjust a price, I still want to be able to see the calculated value I adjusted from.

  17. Traveling Side Bar

    The Command buttons (File Data Print etc.) on the upper right of the form would be much more convenient if they were located on a tab on the right side. A traveling tab such as in the Online Value Line would be fantastic.

  19. Ability to create a portfolio only from the ticker symbol and not have to create an SSG first, then ability to see mini SSG like in Screener

    I'd like to be able to import a list of tickers, or just add a list of tickers manually into a portfolio. Then, have ability to see the section 1 graph like in the screener. (When in SSG graph preview, would like to scroll through all the stocks. Not close the graph, move to next stock to look at graph.) This would be helpful when I a get a list of "best stock ideas" from other places. Or as a volunteer if I am doing a club portfolio review.

  20. Add to portfolio tools the Portfolio Report Card similar to TK6's report

    To properly perform portfolio management analysis we need to get portfolio level statistics on TR, PAR, U/D and RV. With that data we can compare individual holds to see which ones are leading the portfolio and which ones are dragging it down. Without the capability the serious portfolio analyst must create a separate spreadsheet, add the company SSG data then aggregate for the portfolio at large.
