THE "MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR" EDITION
25 NOVEMBER 2010
SO MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR!
StockCentral Pauses to Reflect
If your roving reporter could pull up a chair to the Thanksgiving tables of StockCentral members everywhere this holiday, she would expect to see nothing less than what have come to be known as our steadfast American traditions: a fine roasted bird with all the trimmings, a bottle or two of bubbly with which to toast (and imbibe), and a warm gathering of family and friends, each recalling and sharing that for which he or she is grateful.
Of course, your reporter, who herself has been blessed with much for which she is thankful, hopes that 2010 has been good to you and yours, and that StockCentral finds its way onto your own list. From an economy that is on the mend, to the tools and support StockCentral offers, to the members for whom we exist, there is much for which to give thanks.
On to this week's headlines . . .
THANKFUL FOR: TOOLS OF THE TRADE

THANKFUL FOR . . . THE BEST STOCK DATA ANYWHERE
Analysts' EPS Estimates to be Added
It was none other than your in-the-know reporter who broke the news that new and improved fundamental stock data is on the way for ICLUBcentral tools and StockCentral subscribers. Check out all that there is to be thankful for, coming in just a few short weeks:
* What is ICLUBcentral announcing?
ICLUBcentral's parent company, BetterInvesting, has re-signed an agreement with Morningstar in which the company will continue to provide fundamental stock data for ICLUBcentral tools and subscribers. Morningstar data will be used within the ICLUB.com, myICLUB.com, and StockCentral.com websites as well as be available as a data source for Toolkit 6 and other approved uses in software products.
* ICLUBcentral, myICLUB.com and StockCentral.com already use Morningstar data. Why is this a change?
The sector and industry data provided by Morningstar will be updated to Morningstar's new sector and industry classification system. Analysts' EPS estimates will also be added to the data source. Also, the data provided by Morningstar will originate from an updated distribution platform within Morningstar's system, and we believe that this will result in more timely updates to quarterly and annual data in the StockCentral.com data service.
* When is the switchover date?
The transition to the updated data is scheduled for December 15.
THANKFUL FOR: COMMUNITY
StockCentral Members are Top-Notch
The best tax preparation software the world over, fundamental stock data that provides even more timely updates to quarterly and annual data . . . and a community of like-minded investors who selflessly reach out to investors across the globe. Does it get any better than that?
The StockCentral Community is abuzz with members posting questions and comments, submitting stock studies and reaching out to one another to share information, inspiration, lessons learned, encouragement and insights. Stop in and check out the ongoing debate on dividends and the PEG Ratio (Projected PE / 5 Year Projected Growth Rate) in The Exchange, contribute to the Wish List for Investor's Toolkit in The Suggestion Box, spark or join a debate on any of the dozens of companies (and growing!) in the Ticker Symbol forums.
So much to be thankful for. Wherever you may find yourself this Thanksgiving Day, StockCentral wishes you and yours a happy, safe and abundant celebration.
TODAY'S ENTIRELY RELEVANT QUOTATION
"None is more impoverished than the one who has no gratitude. Gratitude is a currency that we can mint for ourselves, and spend without fear of bankruptcy."
