MessageAny 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.

  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 has
liver pills, cries out, "...don't use the numbers."  What numbers can we
use?

  Where the hell did I put my darts?

    You know, I have a simple solution for this kind of dilemma....don't use
the numbers.

    I know it's tempting to use a number like this, as it seems to "tell you
everything" about the stock. But I think once you summarize summary numbers,
you're asking for trouble. I rank the composite score as "mildly useful."

    Here's an example. I'll select a couple of stocks that have come up for
discussion here in the last few months: WTW and TOL.

    Scores?
    WTW = 96
    TOL = 95

    Yet, look at the charts. WTW broke out today, TOL is rolling over and
playing dead. Doesn't sound like a score of 95/96 "tells" me everything I
need to know about the stocks.

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

        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,

        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.
