MessageGreat points, Fred.
From "Ask IBD" (highlighting is mine)
Question=20
Can the SmartSelect=AE Composite Rating be used to screen stocks =
that are candidates to be bought instead of looking at each of other =
five ratings individually?=20
=20
Answer=20
Yes, the SmartSelect=AE Composite Rating can be used as a filter =
to identify stocks for potential purchase. In fact, this rating was =
designed as a quick and easy way for IBD subscribers to compose a list =
of potential buy candidates. Focusing on those stocks with a Composite =
Rating of 90 or higher will yield a large number of stocks for further =
research. But remember, checking a stock's SmartSelect=AE Ratings is =
just the first step of your research.=20
Once you've identified a list of potential stocks, you should =
always analyze the stocks' daily and weekly charts. IBD subscribers can =
view stock charts on investors.com. Only buy stocks that are emerging =
from sound base structures, and are not too far extended from the pivot =
point. It's also important to really understand a company's =
fundamentals, including its sales and earnings, return on equity, profit =
margins, products, etc. Much of this information can be researched at a =
company's Web site and SEC filings.=20

Any ranking number whether it be IBD's, or someone else's, should only =
be used to filter the universe to a more manageable set.
Each individual investor will have a different set of parameters on =
which to make the first, second, third, etc., cut of that universe.
At some point, the individual investor must still take the time to =
look at all the factors affecting the investment decision of their own =
money.
Just because a stock has a composite score of 90 or higher does not =
necessarily mean that it should be purchased and/or sold short.
In the final analysis, it must be your own judgment and if you use a =
crutch, you deserve the problems.

Duke, guess it comes from playing with the small caps, where few =
analysts bother (or are scared) to tread. So I am used to making up my =
own mind about company forecasts. Where an analyst's forecast is =
available, I always weigh it with my own judgment to see if it makes =
logical sense, and appears doable based on what the company has recently =
been doing.=20
Likewise, very few companies that interest me use big 5 (now 4) =
auditing firms, so I have been less impacted by the loss of credibility =
in auditors. Still, I think most are honest, just dealing with rules =
that both shift with time, and are subject to interpretation. I think =
Andersen was (is) a poor example in that they were far more susceptible =
to pressure from companies they both audited, and advised.
When my wife went through college, I was very capable and able to =
tutor her in all her math courses. But when it came to her accounting =
classes, I was hopeless, and finally concluded that the only way I could =
understand accounting was to read it upside down and in a mirror.

So where are we headed?
You have little or no faith in the auditors.
You can't believe ANY analysts ratings whatsoever. (Really, name a =
brokerage you think YOU can trust to provide unbiased analysis.)
Now we've got "The Investor's Newspaper" (IBD) feeding us "Same =
definition, same data base, same company, different numbers." (What's =
really strange is they are CONSISTENTLY different!)
And now our beloved Katherine, who's got more numbers than Carter =

can we use?
Where the hell did I put my darts?

You know, I have a simple solution for this kind of =

I know it's tempting to use a number like this, as it seems to =

Here's an example. I'll select a couple of stocks that have come =

Scores?
WTW =3D 96

I just had today's update figures for DGO sent to me.

Hi Katherine, I hadn't checked today and after reading your =

However, I just went and checked several stocks:

ABCB 89 90 90

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 =

TO address your question, I would like to confirm that the =

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