It's beyond me how DGO can justify = the price tag (DGO....hope you're reading THIS message) given that so = many of the features are now available at no charge on the IBD site. However, an Excel report with 2500 stocks is not really the issue. It = just matters if you mine a particular way. For example, I find it = terribly disjointed and time consuming to take reports from the IBD = itself or the Investors.com site, meld them together into some cohesive = strategy, gather the appropriate info one by one from the charts, track = the info and manage the updates day to day and expect to have a reliable = strategy for monitoring stock movement, market health and selecting good = stocks for purchase. It can be done, and even though you can automate = some of the info gathering via Excel/Access, it doesn't necessarily give = you a reliable, time-effective process. The bottom line for me? Time is = money. I've had similar discussions with many folks over the years and = it always boils down to this. If you see time as money and you prefer to = have a methodical strategy for mining for buyable CANSLIM candidates = that does not rely on what the IBD or Investors.com editors may choose = to highlight, then you'll choose DGO. If those things don't matter, the = IBD and the Investor.com site are more than sufficient.
