  1. Refresh Buttons: Difference between "Refreshing All Studies/Portfolios" and "Refreshing Individual Studies"

    When the user Refreshes "All Studies" or "Portfolios", locked data is not touched.

    However, when the user Refreshes "Individual Studies" there are two "Overwrite" options and one "Create A Copy" button.

    Is it correct to assume that "Overwrite" means Overwrite....including eliminating/overwriting the Locked data?

    And, when choosing the "Create a Copy", doesn't that also overwrite locked data, update the data.... and create a copy?

    Also: Date Modified column: Gives the date that the user Refreshed either the price or price and data. How can the user tell which companies fundamental data were refreshed? Not all companies release quarterly data on…

  2. Enable Quarterly Data Charting:

    Make better use of the “Quarterly Data” tab. I use it regularly, but it is difficult to spot trends in the data without charting it. Being able to download it into Excel would suit my personal needs. Being able to select the data you want to chart and then click a button and have the chart appear would be great. The ultimate would be to be able to do both.

  4. On the Portfolio and Studies page, add column: number of shares

    In the portfolio view on the Portfolio and Studies page, please consider adding a column showing the number of shares for a particular holding. It would make it much easier to replace old SSGs with new ones in an existing portfolio, and check your data, if you could easily see the number of shares for the old SSG. Toolkit does this via a special window.

  5. Re-name stock search page to 'Stock Ideas' page

    While the Magnifying glass icon link to the page says 'Stock Ideas', the page title doesn't - it's inconsistent.
    Actually there doesn't seem to be a page title, unless it's 'Search for a company'. but that's not really what the page does.
    'Search for a company', 'Search Criteria', etc are good for parts of the page, but 'Stock Ideas' is a better name for the page itself.
    It's even the name of the drop-down category in this feature request section. So maybe that's what the developers call it??

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  13. When making manual changes to data change the color of the changed data so it can be quickly recognizes as changed

    We can tell the data is changed by the checkmark but we do not know which data in the qtr or year has been changed. If the color of the data was another color one could tell at a glance which data point had been changed without digging back through the notes.

  15. Instead of using the estimated future high PE, using the estimated future average PE would provide a more realistic expected total return

    Our club uses the expected average PE and resulting return in deciding on whether to buy . It would be helpful to continue noting that in a form comparing all stock owned.

  18. 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…

  19. in the stock search tool

    I think you should be able to filter sales growth earnings growth current P/E p/e to historical p/E based on greater than or less than what ever variable you are looking for. For example if I was searching for a stock to add to my portfolio in the consumer information sector I get 288 stocks then if I narrow that down to say the advertising industry I may want to look at companies that have sales growth greater than say 12%. Presently you can't do that in the results area

  20. Portfolio Management Guide (PMG)

    Please provide PMG that helps to adjust High and Low PE
    And also PERT

    Initially, I was unhappy to lose Toolkit 6, but now happy with SSG Plus.

    I appreciate if you can add growth line and 10 year data for dividend growth just like Revenue and EPS growth. Dividend growth helps to determine Shareholder oriented management.
