RE: [Amibroker] Re: Access to fundamental data using QuotesPlus >> AmiQuote

FYI - It's a lot less expensive to register AmiQuote with the one-time fee
and get fundamental data - Works Great.

  Don --
  Do you have some way to view the GetFnData() values while still using QP
data for plotting.  Or are you forever switching back an forth between QP
data and Yahoo data?  If you don't need to switch back and forth, how come?

  BTW, what's with faint_grain.jpg?
  Thanks.

          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

          content/uploads/2006/06/ReadMe4810.html. You could try:
          OneYearTargetPrice = GetFnData("OneYearTargetPrice");
          Up side=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 unsuccess ful 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.
