Add a report of portfolio performance vs. benchmarks, like the Club Performance Report in MyiClub
I would like a report in the SSG Plus portfolio tool similar to the MyiClub Club Performance Report. The report would show the compound annual percentage gain over a range of time frames, and allow you to benchmark vs. several selectable benchmarks.
6 votesThe Online Stock Tools do not have a transactional accounting system that is necessary to determine actual returns like the Club Performance Report.

Add Morningstar MOAT rating somewhere. Maybe with ACE.
Companies with a Morningstar Wide or Narrow Moat often have better looking SSGs. Displaying in the SSGPlus saves time going to Morningstar website
1 voteUnfortunately, the Morningstar Moat rating is exclusive to Morningstar and is not available in their equity data feed.

On the SSGPLUS. When I put in the dollar and cents amount in the forecast the cents change from what I have entered. Can this be corrected
On the SSGPLUS. When I put in the dollar and cents amount in the forecast the cents change from what I have entered. Can this be corrected so when I put in the cents is will be what I want not what the program gives me.
1 voteThis is a function of rounding between the Projected High EPS and the Projected EPS growth rate. When you change the Projected High EPS directly, the new value is used to recalculate the Projected EPS growth rate. When the page refreshes, it uses the Projected growth rate to determine the Projected High EPS so it may be different by a few cents. This will not materially change your SSG or its results.

Research > Company Website should be changed to company's investor relations webpage
The company website link under the research menu should go to the company's investor relations webpage instead of just the general company main page. When I click on this link it's because I'm looking for the IR info and sometimes have to hunt for it. Or, create a company IR link above the existing company website link in the research menu.

Member Sentiment window
When I get the Member Sentiment window.... it appears "locked" in position.... I would love to be able to move it aside so that I can see and manipulate the info in that window and ALSO see the Analyze SSG screen and the Valuation SSG screen.... The sentiment window covers up the data I want to compare and evaluate...
1 voteIn the March 2023 release, the member sentiment window has moved from a popup to a page.

When adding a stock to a portfolio allow a "Lot" structure so a cost/share can be added allowing for gain/loss reporting throughout
Rather than having to maintain protfolios in mutliple tools, it would be nice if we could have costs per share captured via a "Lot" structure so multiple buys would be accurate and an Avg Cost per share shown.
With this data now captured you would be able to show the pertormance of a portfolio via gain/lose which is something needed when looking to defend a stock or sell and add something else taking the Capital gains hit into consideration.
Currently we can get this in Club accounting or you use yahoo finance portfolio. It would be nice to have this…
3 votesCurrently, the Online Tools are not architected for transactional accounting, which includes buy/sell dates and lot tracking. We may consider adding this to our long-term tools roadmap, but this would be a 100% overhaul of the Online Tools portfolio structure.

Better, easier to find BI forum to share ideas
There are two issues:
1) It is almost impossible to find the existing web version of the online BI community forum website from the BI website. Yes, you can find a way to sign up for the email list, but it is difficult to find the forum itself.
2) Search functionality, once you're on the forum page, is not very good. Also, it would be helpful to be able to use a link within a post to find the original post in the thread.
In 2019, there are better forum platforms available with better GUIs. Having an upgraded, easy to…

Make the preferred Proceedure figures print on page 1 for all to see at a presentation, etc
Make the preferred Proceedure figures print on page 1 for all to see at a presentation, etc
1 voteIn designing the ‘Analyze Growth and Quality’ or ‘Visual Analysis’ view of the SSGPlus we received overwhelming support for removing the Preferred procedure data on graph as it often obscures some data.

tab for stock high price
you should have a tab for directly inputting the stock high price because if the stock has no prior earnings, it is impossible to get a sensical high p/e forcast, ie ROKU. We expect earnings in the future but cannot use the SSG because of this problem
3 votesAt this time we are concentrating on updates that enhance the core principles of the SSG methodology. Companies without earnings or companies with declining fundamentals are not good candidates for the SSG.

Eliminate CoreSSG
I have been in BI about twenty years and currently a chapter president. I see no real reason to have SSGCore and those resources could be used on the flagship SSGPlus. I hear this from many BI members all the time. They feel as I in that newbies and experienced members just get quickly get confused or frustrated and jump back to the fast and straight forward SSGPlus. We all like and trust SSGPlus. Not a complain, just my observation.
2 votesHi,
Thanks for writing in! We’re reading your feedback item with interest.
In our member feedback, we see an increasing trend of confusion over the use of SSGPlus, the basic operation of the online program and the basic concepts of how the Stock Selection Guide process works. This is strongly correlated with the trend towards clubs and chapters encouraging members to ‘just use the SSGPlus’ and skip the fundamentals introduced with the CoreSSG.
We feel strongly that new users to the online tools and members new to our investing methodology should create at least a few studies with the CoreSSG to understand the fundamentals before jumping into SSGPlus and all of the different views of the data.

Mutual Funds
Really would like the research to be able to study Mutual Funds, since many members while investing in stocks, most likely have a 401K or similar program through work that is limited to Mutual Funds and not individual stocks.
1 voteHi,
We previously had a mutual fund analysis product for a long time but ultimately found that there was not enough interest in the BetterInvesting community to fund the $100K+ cost for the mutual fund data feed.

Low PE Input
Expand Low PE input on SSG and SSG Plus to include a second decimal place; 20.56. The high PE input has two decimal places. Please expand this field for the Low PE.
3 votesIncreasing precision on the low P/E or high P/E input does not increase accuracy. We encourage all users to view the SSG as an estimate and therefore P/E and price forecasts use 1 digit of precision. Thank you for pointing out the 2 digits of precision on the SSGPlus high P/E entry! We’ll get that corrected.

Hi,
Unfortunately, we do not have a data source that would indicate if the stock is optionable. This is determined based on criteria of the various options exchanges.

Add industries to the search criteria
Because we do industry studies it would be helpful to be able to search on individual industries.
3 votesHi,
The online tools screener, by intent, does not have all of the features of MyStockProspector in order maintain a streamlined, easy-to-understand experience. We encourage users, through the link on the page, to investigate MyStockProspector for a more robust screening tools.

Add the ability to import .ssg files to SSG Plus and Core
SSG Plus and SSG Core now allow for importing .itk files. It would also be nice to be able to import .ssg files. Toolkit is able to export in both the .itk and .ssg formats. Our club uses the .ssg format because one member has Stock Analyst, which is unable to import .itk files.
1 vote.SSG data files are being deprecated as they do not contain enough data to completely re-create a study in the CoreSSG or SSGPlus.

member sentiment make pop up retain

Add more criteria items to SSGPlus screener
Consider adding more individual criteria items like screening for growth on shorter periods of time.

PERT table needs to be full width without scrolling
PERT online view requires scrolling left/right to be able to compare ESTEPSGROWTH to TTMEPSGROWTH. Need to be able to view without scrolling.
4 votesHi,
There are too many columns in the PERT report to format all the data on a typical browser without scrolling.
We’d recommend using the browser zoom at 75% to see all of the data without scrolling horizontally.
