I get IBD delivered to my home. As a subscriber I get to use the charts that
are found
on investors.com. I've tried QP and Dailygraphs and as a retail investor who
owns at most about 5 stocks I don't see a reason to spend the extra money on
QP plus or DG. You do get a few advanages with those products but I would
like to know if anyone honestly thinks the added function is worth the price.
When I tried QP I thought that the moving average functions were real nice
but the volume bars were
too small. CANSLIM is volume based. I'm not sure how High Growth Stocks
establishes their picks but if you take the newpaper and combine the RS and
EPS rank plus BAB ranking I think your going to get a similiar list. With DG
the big advantage is the condensed information that is directly CANSLIM
related. That all comes at a price which I would think requires that your
account be of some size. Mutual fund data is real valuable for 401K accounts
and you don't get that with just DG. It really requires the newspaper plus
DG. The bigest advantage that I see with these charting packages is the
ability to place groups of stocks in lists. This way the short term trader
can scan large groups of stocks in order to establish a buy list.
