On days when the market is down 400 points one day, and up the next, many may wonder about the timeliness of the price use in Take Stock.
Suffice it to say that the "current price" is yesterday's closing price. The price in our "data" report is the last weekly closing price ... but we will soon add the "current price" to the report.

Is there a forum to comment on results from Take Stock? I have results for United Health Group dated 12/20/06 and again on 2/25/07 and the results are markedly different. Current price was similar on both dates but buy price was markedly different. In one instance it looked like potential high price was calculated based off forecast earnings per share and in the other based off business model. The forecast growth model for earnings per share was the same in both cases (5.08) and business model was less in both instances (4.22 or 4.09). I had previously been told that when using Take Stock on-line the 'growth model' number is always used even if higher. Has Take Stock recently been upgraded perhaps?

Hi Sue,
For concerns about the program's accuracy or calculations, or to report a bug, one would post in the "Infirmary" in Central Square.
You are spot on with your analysis of the programmatic change. The short answer is that TS online now uses the lower of the two in regard to Growth v. Bus. Model. The whole issue is discussed here:

With more stuff here:

I hope this information helps, and thanks for your feedback!

When I view the results of Take Stock the visual cuts off certain data and verbage on my screen and often as I open pages the print prints over itself so it cant be read. I have a wide body scren. How do I fix this problem

Please check it again. I've made some changes that (hopefully) fix this problem. Also, are you using Internet Explorer? |

Does adding the "current price," to the data report mean yesterday's price or 15 minutes ago price?

The "current price" in the data report should be interpreted as "closing price for the date listed on the previous line."
Our SSG files are updated weekly, so these are closing prices as of last Friday.
If you do a price update, you'll get the price that's served up by Yahoo at the time you do it. I assume that's delayed by 15 minutes ... |

When I first signed on (about 3 months ago), I found a tutorial for Take STock. Now I've lost it. Where do I access it?
Thanks. Carol

Carol,
There is a help tab below the area where you enter ticker symbols. I have used it many times myself.
