Stock Ideas List not accessible from Home
The Stock Ideas List is accessible from the SSG, SCG Screens. Why not also from Home? After I've logged in, why do I have to go from Home into an SSG or SCG, or some other screen first, in order to get to the magnifying glass link to do a Stock Search?
Why not include it in the On-line Tools block on the right side of the Home page? Don't think it would clutter up the block all that much more.4 votesThe screening link is now linked using the ‘magnifying glass’ icon in the online tools block on the member home page.

Why does earnings & EPS shown on SSG not jive up with Etrade and other publications
Why does earnings & EPS and other data on SSG not jive up with that published on Etrade and else where?
1 voteThe earnings (EPS) that are used in the tools and stock data service are ‘Diluted EPS from Continuing Operations’.
There are the earnings from the GAAP definition of continuing operations divided by the common shares outstanding adjusted for the assumed conversion of all potentially dilutive securities. Securities having a dilutive effect may include convertible debentures, warrants, options, and convertible preferred stock.
These earnings are traceable back to the company’s official filing (10-Q, 10-K, 20-F) on the SEC website at http://www.sec.gov
Other financial resources may present different variations on earnings.

Company search add checkbox
I’m looking at the Company Search section (via Core/Plus SSG), and I wish there was a checkbox or something on each stock when I’m going thru the Data Preview popup, for selecting out items I might be interested in looking further into - narrowing the list, as it were.
Yes, I can write down the ticker of each interesting stock, but if I could checkbox each one, and then only Company Search look at those, and refine the list further (by unchecking some), would sure be helpful.
Not sure how persistent I would want the checkboxes to be, wouldn’t want…1 vote -

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.

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.

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.

Quarterly Data
Limit the Quarterly Data X-axis scale to 50% so the plots will not be compressed, making judgements near 10% data difficult.
1 voteHi,
There is an option to restrict the Y axis (height) scale to 50%. It is called ‘Limit 50% Growth’. The X axis can be set to show 5 years or 10 years of data.
