New suggestions

Hi, Tomasz:

It seems some mail has not made it through to me and you may not have received
some from me, so I hope this gets through.

You were apparently asking for more suggestions. I have a few new ones for
you.

Can you add room for some needed fundamental per share numbers, such as debt,
cash, losses per share (or maybe allow -EPS?) and cash flow, and dividend
history records? To be able to see % growth (without doing a song & dance) in
appropriate numbers would help, too. I know some fundamental figures are on
your To-Do list, but fundamentals haven't been bolstered as much lately as
other parts of the program.

Can you make the defaults for all such numbers (shares, book value, etc.)
blank? If no numbers have been manually entered into a gadget, zero is an
inaccurate way to describe outstanding shares, for example, but a company
could have zero debt. 

It would also be interesting to be able to make AFL searches with
consideration for companies with zero debt and loads of cash (or ranked by the
least debt and/or most cash)! I believe someone mentioned something similar to
this for AFL recently, but having a programming language link to fundamental
data has to be one of my oldest unmet requests.

Having a place to record the class or series of a stock is still needed. Some
shares, such as prefereds, can have a confusing mix of information in their
tickers (i.e. XYZ.PR.J could be series 3; an untagged XYZ could actually be an
A or B class issue), so a way of clarifying this info may help some of us.

To your credit, Tomasz, you implimented most of the last big bunch of features
I asked to be added, so folks, keep your ideas coming. You just might get what
you wanted!
