    The earnings (EPS) that are used in the tools and stock data service are ‘Diluted EPS from Continuing Operations’.

    There are the earnings from the GAAP definition of continuing operations divided by the common shares outstanding adjusted for the assumed conversion of all potentially dilutive securities. Securities having a dilutive effect may include convertible debentures, warrants, options, and convertible preferred stock.

    These earnings are traceable back to the company’s official filing (10-Q, 10-K, 20-F) on the SEC website at http://www.sec.gov

    Other financial resources may present different variations on earnings.

    The 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.

  11. Add the "red line" to show current price in the Data Preview feature of the Screener.

  12. Add 2 columns to the Portfolio Summary Report to display number of shares and total stock value in the portfolio.

    Adding this basic information to the Portfolio Summary Report would make the portfolio "snapshot" more complete and useful to clubs and individuals.

  18. Decimal precision: 2 decimals for EPS & Price, 1 for all else

    Having a higher precision level doesn't make it more accurate. Also send the wrong signal re the accuracy. Follow TK6 lead.

    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.
