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.

In determining a low price the "Determine Low Price-Next 5 Years" box pops up. Would like to see this prepopulated with the last 4 quarters
In determining a low price the "Determine Low Price-Next 5 Years" box pops up. Would like to see this prepopulated with the last 4 quarters EPS.
4 votesThe trailing twelve months (TTM) EPS is now the default value to populate the ‘Low EPS’ value in the Low Price calculation.
Users may change their preference setting to use the last annual price or may overwrite the TTM EPS value.

Add the TTM EPS to the printed SSG.
This suggestion applies to the printouts in both the CoreSSG and SSGPlus. Since the TTM EPS is often used in the Low Price calculation and is often the start point of the EPS 5 year projection, the value should be printed on the form for reference. Suggest that the TTM EPS value be added to section 3, near the current P/E, and/or to the graph to annotate the most recent quarter (if one has been reported beyond the fiscal year).
4 votesThank you for voting on this feature! The trailing twelve month (TTM) earnings per share (EPS) is now available in section 4 of the PDF report.

Allow data to be locked
Allow the fundamental data to be 'locked' so that new/updated data is only added and doesn't overwrite older or edited fundamental data.
4 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.

PERT problem
Today Craig Jacobsen and I noticed the Online Portfolio Pert report gave three companies pink flags in sales when the forecast percents were lower than the actual last 1/4 sales. Namely LOW, CMI and FDS. A Toolkit PERT with the same front page forecast had no pink in the sales columns. Perhaps there is a problem with the Online PERT. Check it out if you have time. Thanks.

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.

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.

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.

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.

pre-select the bottom of the quarterly data table so the most recent data is immediately in view.
