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.

Add the capability to import SSG studies that have been sent by another club member.
The SSGPlus does not have the capability to import SSG studies that have been sent by another club member. You can export your files so others can view your stock studies, but the SSGPlus does not have the ability to import studies from others. The import capability should gohand-in-hand with the export capability.

Adding Return on Assets as an “Evaluate Management” metric when studying bank stocks
According to many resources, Return on Assets (ROA) is one of the best ways to evaluate profitability of a bank. %Pre-tax Profit on Sales is less useful when evaluating a bank, so I would suggest replacing that line with ROA for banks.
The calculation is done in one of 2 ways:
Return on Total Assets (ROTA) = CY Net Profit / CY Total Assets
Return on Average Assets (ROAA) = CY Net Profit / ((CY Total Assets + PY Total Assets)/2)Where CY = current year; PY = previous year
Both are used. ROTA would result in a more conservative…

Add a screener option to find up, straight, and parallel companies.
The mantra of BI is to find up, straight, and parallel companies. The screener should have an option to find these companies.

Allow the ability to update all relevant studies as a group rather than one at a time
It is time consuming and annoying to have to update all stocks for a club meeting one at a time. This should be changed to allow one step updating.
35 votesThanks for submitting and voting on this feature! It can now be accomplished by setting up a portfolio, adding the relevant stocks and then you can update the SSGs (either just prices or price and data) as a group. See the Portfolio Quick Start Guide available from the tools ‘Help and Information’ Tab for more information.

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.
