Don, from what I'm reading it looks like you import the Yahoo fundamental data in the 
same AB database as holds the Quotes Plus data.  I understand it's not the same data but 
thought that you had to have a separate database.  (I should have RTFM again but didn't before
asking this question)

Also, how may tickers data are you importing with Amiquote?  6-7000 tickers worth?

Guess it would be easy enough to test with a short list and Amiquote. 

Best regards
JOE

        Keith,
        I don't have to switch out of Quotes Plus to run AmiQuote to get the Yahoo Fundamental data.  AmiBroker allows both feeds, as long as you have "use local database" turned in your database settings. 

        Mr Valley seems to indicate that the Yahoo data and Quotes Plus data are the same, but each has different information.  I find the Quotes Plus data the most useful as I follow the CAN SLIM system and Quotes Plus has information very similar to what O'Neil says to look for.

        Don

        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

              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 unsucc! ess 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.
