MessageIt is my understanding that both ratings are now the same.

This was one of the changes made in the recent update to the Investors.com
data and DGO.  The differences in the IBD and DGO data just confused the
issue for many people.

Since different formulas were used, when a substantial delta occurred (say
more than five points) in the numbers, it was an indicator to me that a
stock needed to be checked out very thoroughly.  In several cases, that
difference prevented me from losing money.

  Hi Gene,

  There seems to be conflicting information on this...See DGO's reply to my
recent inquiry (7/31) about the very same thing:

  Hi Katherine,



  Thank you for your recent email to Daily Graphs Online.



  I apologize, but the recent additions to our services have not yet been
reflected in our Image Maps resource.  We plan on making the update soon.
TO address your question, I would like to confirm that the Composite Rating
you see on our service is the same SmartSelect® Composite Rating that is
provided by the Investor's Business Daily and investors.com.



  Please write back if you have any questions or need assistance.



  Best regards,

  Dan

    Subject: [CANSLIM] Which One Is Better


    Let's see, IBD provides an Overall Rating and now DGO provides a
Composite Rating. Has anyone determined which one is better?

    Gene

    The new SmartSelect® Composite Rating in Investor's Business Daily and
    the Stock Checkup Overall Rating found on investors.com are based on
    different formulas.

    The SmartSelect® Composite Rating combines all 5 SmartSelect Ratings
    into one easy-to-use rating.  More weight is placed on EPS and RS
    Rating, and the stock's percent off its 52-week high is also included in
    the formula.  Results are then compared to all other companies, and each
    company is assigned a rating from 1-99 with 99 being the best.  This
    rating is designed to help you get a quick feel for how a company's
    SmartSelect® Ratings compare to all other stocks in our database.  This
    is intended to be an additional tool to help you find the stocks with
    the highest SmartSelect® Ratings, quickly and easily.

    The Overall Rating in the Stock Checkup is determined by a proprietary
    formula incorporating all five of the Stock Checkup ratings. These are
    the Technical Rating, Fundamental Rating, Attractiveness Rating, Group's
    Technical Rating and Group's Fundamental Rating.  The Stock Checkup uses
    over 30 different variables including all the SmartSelect® Ratings to
    calculate the Overall Rating.  When using the Stock Checkup, focus not
    only on the Overall Rating but all 6 of the Checkup Ratings.  Also study
    how the stock compares to its group within the individual Checkup
    Ratings.
