Chris,
I use Quotes Plus as well, but I also download the Yahoo Fundamental Data
once a week using AmiQuote. This gives you the best of both worlds, as you
can use both GetFnData AND GetExtraData functions.

Chris,
Thanks for the suggestions....I will try them. However with
QuotesPlus as my data source, I do not have access
to "OneYearTargetPrice" and do not use the GetFnData call. I am
limited to the fields supported by the GetExtraData() function.
Perhaps Tomasz will consider expanding the QP plugin to support the
additional fields in the QP download?
Thanks,
Tom

OneYearTargetPrice = GetFnData("OneYearTargetPrice");
Upside=OneYearTargetPrice/C-1; Addcolumn(Upside,"Upside",1.2);

frequently (like 90-95% of the time) estimates go higher (and
downgrade/lower). For this you could use any/many of the EPS
estimates available from GetFnData. You just have to track it (this
is the tough part) to see what it was a day ago, week ago, etc.
Some of the most sustainable moves in growth stocks are found using
revisions data.

sometimes help you buy the stock, but almost never help you get out,
so even if you had this information, it would not help you exit the
stock. I've done some studies on this (and # of covering analysts,
next 12 months EPS estimates, etc) and related topics using
thomsononeanalytics.com excel add-in data. Additionally, there have
been several unsuccessful fund strategies at brokerage firms that
used the buys/sells from the firm's analyst teams. Also, if analyst
opinions are important to you, you may want to consider subscribing
to Starmine, which ferrets out who are the best analysts and focuses
on their moves.
