Bill, I have been using DGO since its original beta testing some years ago.
My biggest complaint was that there was no screening capability (even if you
downloaded the index to the books into Excel, you still only were getting
the 2200 or so stocks in the books, not the 8500 or so publicly traded).

I was very excited when they finally introduced the Custom Screens, altho
frankly time limitations made it difficult for me to work with them to the
extent I wanted. I did get several screens set up, which I checked
religiously every day for the past five months or so. But I found that my
style and application of CANSLIM gave me far more candidates by using CBS
Marketwatch's free screen, than I ever got from DGO. If I was offered the
Custom Screens, and the Industry Performance, for $25 or so, then I would
take it. But for me, it's not worth what they are charging.

I simply found the screens too complicated, too often resulting in no stocks
being found. Then I had to do analysis of stocks that should have showed up,
to figure out which criteria kicked them out, and by how much.

As a new member of the list and relatively new to CANSLIM, I'm interested in
anything that will make me a better stock picker. I've already learned that
it isn't all in WON's books so I appreciate almost all of the dialogue.

I'm particularly interested in  approaches, software, web sites, etc. that
would make the search for CANSLIM stocks more effective. For example, I
signed up for DGO too late to use the beta site and  note that DGO is
offering a discounted price to current subscribers for the two new
elements "custom screening" and "industry groups". Would like inputs from
those of you that used the beta site on whether they worthwhile as compared
to VectorVest etc.

Thanks,
Bill King
