Re: Groups and ASX

Max,

I'm using Groups assignment to store tickers that pass an initial 
filtering criteria regardless of Market, Sector or Industry 
assignment. For emample, I have a group that contains just stocks 
that are trading above the 200MA and have a 45MA of Volume greater 
than 75,000. From this group, I do the rest of my analysis work 
since it whittles down my 8000 stock database to a more manageable 
number. I could also create groups for stocks that are optionable 
too.

I hope this gives you a couple ideas that turn the light bulb on for 
you.
