- --part1_129.1eeda021.2b436fec_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Here are my thoughts on the cost of DGO as someone who did subscribe but has since cancelled. (You mentioned DGO with eIBD and I hope that is what you meant). First, I think that the dollar cost is not that expensive to worry someone who is investing at least $5000 in stocks in a bull market. (For those playing with $2000 it may turn out to eat up all the gains.) There is a question about whether it is useful to pay for DGO in a mega-bear market when CANSLIM is the method of investing. It may be better to subscribe on a monthly basis and only pay when the market could be ready to pick up and cancel when it is obvious by the charts that it will take a few months for a CANSLIM market to being. The IBD paper is different and I like that in both bull and bear markets. OTOH -- Even though I don't think DGO is overly expensive in theory, I do think the current content makes it worth about $100-$250 per year. The charts are free several places. The majority data provided can be found for free or around $250 per year from other sources. These data source also provide the raw data behind the DGO data for download to a local computer. DGO shows the EPS and sales that make up the Q/Q and Y/Y growth, but does not provide a method of allowing that data to be downloaded. I understand the concept of proprietary data but DGO does not have data that isn't available elsewhere for much less. With the data on the computer a user can screen for CANSLIM criteria to find potential candidates. The rankings can be found in an IBD or a subscriber can find then online. As for the eIBD, I looked at a sample online that was over 5MB. This is too much to download everyday and several people I know who subscribed to eIBD have cancelled because it is just too much trouble.
