A New Way to Prepare SSGs
"Take Stock" of This New Feature!!!
Your in-the-know reporter has just learned that the Take Stock program has added a feature that will allow users to generate a completed Stock Selection Guide (SSG) from Take Stock, as well as the original Technamental Stock Study Worksheet (TSSW) form. The SSG form will use the default or edited judgment values to complete the stock study, as selected by the user.
Users may also save their completed Take Stock studies to a portfolio on the site, then keep up to date on changes in the Growth, Mood, or Price Range of their companies.
The Take Stock tool at StockCentral is one of the easiest ways to analyze a stock — just enter a ticker symbol and the program does the rest! In the default judgment mode, the program uses strict guidelines to evaluate the strength and consistency of a company's past growth and then applies conservative rules to forecast future growth and range of prices.
Few companies pass Take Stock's unbending criteria and are judged to be reasonable candidates for your portfolio. Take Stock is designed to use this "better safe than sorry" approach to protect neophyte stock investors from investing in companies with poor historical fundamentals, no matter what the reason for that underperformance.
To gain a better understanding of all the decision points that go into completing a stock study in Take Stock, investors can use these additional features:
- The Wizard. The Wizard allows you to override the various judgment values employed in completing a study, useful if you have an understanding of how a company's future fundamentals may differ from recent historical results.
- Edit Judgment: Advanced investors can also use the Edit Judgment feature to review and override the default judgment decisions made by Take Stock.
Visit Take Stock at StockCentral to demo or use the tool to analyze your favorite company, instantly!
IAS Adds Search, Resource Features AND a New Website!
StockCentral Members Can Save 50 Percent
Speaking of new features, our Investor Advisory Service is loaded with them! As of the July 2011 edition, subscribers can log in and view the current issue and archives on the site. Of particular note to current subscribers is a new feature that has been much requested over the years: Search! The Search feature will assist you in finding references to particular companies in the IAS archives.
We have also added a new Resources section, where you can find websites and recommended reading selected by the IAS editors and analysts, and a Blog for updated news about IAS. We have connected the new site to our Twitter account, for those who would like to remain absolutely current with new issue announcements and other news.
And (drum roll, please…), as part of our efforts to reach many more subscribers with our commonsense stock investing approach, we have created a brand-new website for the IAS with a new, easy-to-remember address:
www.investoradvisoryservice.com/.
The IAS newsletter has long been considered one of the best-kept secrets when it comes to top-performing stock market publications. Named for the past two years to the Hulbert Financial Digest's Investment Newsletter Honor Roll for outstanding performance over the long term, the IAS has been known to only a select relatively few subscribers.
If you aren't familiar with the IAS's brand of independent, unbiased stock advice, please take a look at our new site and learn all that IAS can offer you. And remember — StockCentral subscribers can save 50 percent on a subscription. Check the StockCentral Discounts page for details, and subscribe today!
