SSG Printouts Should Mirror the Data Series and Time Periods the User Selected in SSG Plus
The first page of a printed SSG always shows Sales, Pre-Tax Profit, EPS, Hi/Low Prices, Sales Detailed Estimates and EPS Detailed Estimates regardless of what data the user selects to view in the Legend box of SSGPlus.
Likewise, the Quarterly Growth Trend Data (when selected for printing) always shows Sales and EPS for TTM and Last 5 Years of Data regardless of what data series or time period the user selected in SSGPlus.
For example: On SSG Page 1, a user may want to add the Dividends, Total Debt and Shares Outstanding in addition to the usual. Or, the user…

"Quarterly Data" graphs: Add a "most recent 3 years" option.
"Quarterly Data" graphs: add a "most recent 3 years" option. This is especially important for fast growing, small companies. The first 2 high-performing years often skew the graph, making the recent years graph line appear almost flat. We always look at the pink Trailing 4 Quarters, Pre-Tax Profit % Change. Having a 3 year option would help us to visually see the recent change.

Add CNBC to Research/Analyst Estimates
Add CNBC since the site gives a 3-5 yr EPS growth estimate, and a comparison to peers, industry, and the S&P500. This information is lacking on most of the research websites.

Change Peer Averages to Average Only Chosen Peers
Currently the peer averages are calculated from all companies in the same industry of a similar size. This change would average data from just the 3 chosen peers.

Allow printing of the Search Results
There should be a way to print the search results to make it easier to research all the companies. It is frustrating to have to enter the criteria multiple times, or print the companies 10 companies at a time.

In the past, perhaps with Toolkit version, I believe, for a stock you already own, e.g. Stock A: a) you could enter, for Stock A, the purch
Decades ago, I believe in Toolkit, you could use current holding, Stock A, enter purchase price, date, current price and date (allowing capital gain calculation if sold), plus your current total tax bracket. THEN Challenge Stock A, taking after tax proceeds and compare to new Stock B... to see projected return 3-5 years later.
This was EXCELLENT so you can see if just holding Stock A, including unrealized gains, is actually superior to selling A and buying Stock B with after tax amount left.7 votes -

It would be great to be able to share Pert Report files with Club members electronically, similar to sharing itk files.

I would like to be able to share an entire portfolio with my club members without sharing it one stock at a time.
For example, I have a portfolio of solar energy stocks. I'd like to be able to share that portfolio with just a click rather than go stock by stock. As the club's secretary, I have the club's watch list in another portfolio based on previous "stocks to study" that our club members have done. And, my wife and I are both BI members, so I'd like to be able to share portfolios between ourselves easily. For example, our watch list. And, I want to create a portfolio of great local companies. As it is now, I must create the SSGs,…

Add a quick link to go from the SSG page to the BI Home Page
Like the Tools link from BI Home to the SSG site, it would be most helpful to add a link from the SSG site to the Home page.

Add an "Are You Sure" to the Update All Button
That button is DANGEROUS! I accidentally pressed it and ALL my studies were updated!!! Not only did this take a LONG time but all my history of SSGs was gone! Why not add an ARE YOU SURE confirmation?

Notes Default Settings
With the new notes feature the Staff and Community notes defaults to being on. I recommend that the default be changed to "off" or allow user to set global defaults to their preference. The community notes are often inane and useless.
