Is that IRL list in a file or on paper that Quotes Plus sent you? I have
been thinking about their contents.
I use IRL program to make special indices of the better stocks in a group as
most of us would not usually just pick out the worst ones in any particular
group. Of course it is more expensive this way since it becomes necessary to
purchase the software disk from IRL or Equis who also sell them. My thoughts
are if you start out with a stronger group to pick from the probability of
success is enhanced. I have not compared the different ways so it remains
philosophically.
