Either way, it appears that the IBD data paints a prettier picture of the
stocks.

I just had today's update figures for DGO sent to me.
The 3 columns are 8/9 DGO data
8/12 IBD readings 30 minutes ago
8/12 DGO just received today's download

Hi Katherine, I hadn't checked today and after reading your note, I
'thought' I was in error.

However, I just went and checked several stocks:
               8/9  8/12  8/12
                DGO  IBD  DGO
AAON     85     86      83
AIR          38     55      32
ABCB       89     90     90
ABM         77    85      75
ABN         58    67       58
ACE         69    86        71
ACMR     92     95       92
AES         24     30       25
AFCE      72     79       74
AFL         92     95       91

The first ten (10) I checked showed different numbers.

My question still stands, which one is better?

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

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.
