Stop automatic page reversing
We have two pages of stocks. When updating EACH file on the second page, file manager auto-reverses to page 1. Very annoying to have to "go back" to page 2 after each one.

Consistency in Data Updates
The update for data and prices should be in the same order on the "Refresh Portfolio" dialog box on the Portfolio page and the "Refresh Data From Data Service" dialog box on the SSG. Please see attached .pdf.
2 votesWe implemented consistency but chose to keep price updates as the first option.

Allowing locking of data on an SSG.
Allowing locking of data on an SSG to prevent accidental updates if more than 1 SSG on a company. Some keep a separate SSG for each addl buy of a co. Locking would prevent accidental updating of that SSG.
2 votesUser entered data is now locked on a row-by-row basis.
We advise that all ‘non-changed’ data is kept unlocked so it is automatically updated (upon a user initiated refresh/update) in the case of a stock split.

Under research tab have the sites grouped by type of information being sought.
For example:
Research (the heading tab)
EPS estimates
----------------- Yahoo (linked to section with EPS estimates)
----------------- Reuter (etc)
Competitors
----------------- Yahoo (linked to section with EPS estimates)This would serve to prompt the analyst to go to the better sites to consistently get quality information on the topic of interest.
2 votesThanks for voting on this feature. It was implemented with the March 6 release.

Warren Buffett states that when he and Charlie buy common stock for Berkshire they approach the transition as if they are buying into a private business. They look at the economic prospects of the business, the people in charge of running it, and the price they must pay. (see The Essays of Warren Buffett by Lawrence A. Cunningham, Second Edition, p 77) BI does good with teaching about how to in economic prospects and if the price is right, but we need more information on management. How do we research that? Thanks.

Ability to add future years of fundamental data
Allow the user to add future years or quarters of data to their SSG that is saved online.

Add ability to update the stock price at any time
Show not only yearly high and low prices but also yearly closing prices and draw a line thru them
1 voteWe now have an option with the study, from the file manager and when updating a whole portfolio to update only the price.
This was implemented with our last major update that was released in September 2015. -
Print Notes from the Note Window
It would be helpful if the notes could be printed from the note window without having to send them to Microsoft Office Quick Notes or One Note.
1 voteNotes can be printed to a PDF by appending them to the 2 page SSG report as a 3rd page.
To print the Notes, select ‘Print’ , then click on ‘Append Notes’ and then ‘Generate PDF’ and the notes will become part of the PDF. We are planning a new ‘Notes’ tab (rather than a popup) and will consider how printing would work from that screen. -
Fix trying to go to Search after wanting to Abandon Study
When you are in a new study, decide you want to go back to Search and don't want to save the study, it doesn't Abandon. You have to either save the study, or go the Library in order for Abandon to be accepted.
1 voteFixed.

Add a visual divider between FY data and Q data in the EPS Forecast window.
Some kind of visual divider between the FY and Q Data for the data displayed on the right side of the EPS Forecast pop-up (PTP Margin, shares outstanding, etc.) would make this data a little easier to read.
1 voteThere is now a visual divider present on the Historical Data panel on the right of the Preferred Procedure area.

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.

Add "Prices current as of xx/xx/xx" to top of section 3
At the top of Section 3, there is plenty of room on the top line that displays the stock prices. How about adding "Prices current as of: xx/xx/xx". When working on an older study, the original date is shown in the title bar, so it's not necessarily clear that the prices displayed at the top of section 3 are more current than the Study Name/Date.
1 voteThanks for the suggestion!
The price date is shown next to the current price. -
When developing reporting make sure it considers reports by portfolio
Toolkit 6 has several good reports and they can be generated by portfolio. Please have SSGPlus have the same.
1 voteThank you for providing feedback at the BetterInvesting feedback forum! The suggestion ‘When developing reporting make sure it considers reports by portfolio’ is now closed as this is already a requirement for any future portfolio reports in the SSGPlus. Your votes will be returned to you to vote again on something else in our feedback forum.
Please encourage others to visit http://feedback.betterinvesting.org and vote or submit suggestions! -
Consistency on numbers for R2 on Stock Comparison Guide SCG
The Industry Average for R2 on the Stock Comparison Guide shows as a percentage rather than decimal. I'm assuming that 27.3% for an R2 is equivalent to .273.
1 voteR2 is now shown as a decimal.

Save preferences for columns to display in the 'Your Studies' area
Save my preferred columns to display when viewing all of my saved studies. Or better yet have a menu of personal saved displays that can be selected from a drop down (like saving a screen search).
1 voteSaving your chosen column to display was implemented with the March 6 release.
