Hello Katherine,
Your assessment of DGO and IBD are very interesting. I have been mining =
IBD for several years and am in total agreement with you on the time =
involved to keep a ready list available. But now with the =
Investors.com, a couple of saves per day of their spoon fed screens does =
at least give an education into how to do this. I guess I would have to =
at least have bull market before I could consider a subscription to DGO. =
=20
So I have 2 questions for you. First, do you find yourself in need of =
IBD when you subscribe to DGO once you have studied the market in IBD =
for several years. And second, the most important piece of information =
in IBD is Where The Big Money Is Flowing on each exchange......is there =
a place, site or screen to get high volume candidates to study. IBD =
takes the work out of this one but like you say, am I being spoon fed =
just a tiny group of possibilities?
Thanks for your advice, I and I'm sure others value your opinion highly.
John Calkins

Hi Duke,
The basic DGO is about $600/year.... only the additional tools bring =
it up to about $1000.=20
Truth is, until recently, the features/charts etc. were not available =
at the IBD site and DGO was a godsend. 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.

Subject: Re: [CANSLIM] DGO/IBD
Investors.com provides daily/weekly charts, info on stocks within =
the same industry, proprietary info (RS on their charts), etc. I need =
something provided by DGO that is worth the $1000 premium. I don't want =

of EXCEL/ACCESS.
My question clarified: What can DGO provide that I can't get from =
IBD?=20
Thanks for your help.
