I am sure this is the sort of question that has come up before, but please
bear with me, I tried the search function for the archived discussion at
http://www.xmission.com/~mcjathan/canslim/search.html but the search form
does not seem to work for me.

Having read WON's book and followed this list for a while, I am very sold on
the CANSLIM approach and to learn how to invest in this syle.   I have been
looking for a source of data to support using the CANSLIM approach in
investing.  I know from reading this list about the various web sites
include investors.com and Daily Graphs which provide processed and analysed
data in the form of rankings and charts.  I am more interested in getting to
a rawer form of data where I can apply my own models and tweek them.  I am
sure there are others on this list that share this interest.  I am also
located outside the USA which means that I have no access to IBD as a
newspaper, although I do read what I can on their excellent web site.

For years I have subscribed to Reuters Datalink for end of day stocks and
commodities price and volume data and putting it into Metastock for
technical analysis and to use AAII Investor Pro for fundamental company data
and analysis.  However, it is not easy to integrate the two into a combined
approach such as that typified by CANSLIM.  So I have been looking around
for a better source.

Just recently I found a data source called Quote Plus 2 at www. qp2.com and
signed up for their free trial.  What attracted me was the screening
software which allows screening by both fundamental and technical criteria
and the fact that the data covers both end of day price and volume as well
as fundamentals.  It struck me that this data source appears ideal for the
CANSLIM approach.  Cost wise a single subscription to QP2 is much less than
a Datalink subscription PLUS a Investor Pro subscription.

Before I switch over completely, I just wonder if anyone on this list has
any experience with using Qutoe Plus for the CANSLIM approach and if this
has come up as a discussion topic.
