    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). =20

    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.
