Hi all! Sorry i missed the responses.... i'll try and get back to responding in earnest after the Christmas festivities.
On the fundamental side, has anyone used Stock Doctor? I've seen it since my much younger days, but it was always 'pricey' - compared to other options. I do tune in to the QAV podcasters who also have a discount on the stock doctor till Christmas, - pretty much a 1 yr + 3 bonus monhths for $1,587.
It's still 'expensive' for those used to paying much less for software access, but i guess in the grand scheme of what we're doing not so much. Compared to reading annual and half year reports - has anyone found Stock doctor or other competitor products much worth the time saved by having everything all in one spot already for you?
Does raise the question though - that you have to have faith that the numbers and metrics reported in any third party service is correct. But provided you do.... keen to hear if anyone found stock doctor worth the cost? Before pushing the button this christmas? I could peruse it for the QAV podcast methods, but also for Strawman and normal Fundamental analysis, but if there's something just as efficient with aggregating fundamental data that's comparatively more affordable i'm happy to hear it?
Will check out the tikr recommendations to see how much it is.
Tikr sometimes does not have the correct ownership data just FYI or they sometimes get it wrong.
I'm also using Factset a bit more now. Quite a lot of data to digest and shows which funds are buying and selling stock which is pretty useful. I only have the basic account. For premium you get to download the broker reports as well.
For technicals I tend to use either barchart or tradingview. The TA opinions vary wildly between the two.
For technical analysis, I use Optuma. For fundamental stuff, I use full-year reports and half-year reports. But if I want to scan over a stock, I use simply wall street not always 100% accurate, I might add.
Hi brains trust, just curious for those that combine and utilise charting software for pricing and other uses, what do you use?
I have had IC investor for years, arguably more because of the sunk cost of the software when I originally purchased it upfront. Having paid the monthly data feed for yonks ($40/month) and being complacent, I recently got a bit fed up of the lack of support (changing credit card, took forever, phone tag, etc. etc)and figured surely there's better priced if not better featured software.
Would be keen to hear what people use, the cost etc. I did try incredible charts once, whch was well cost effective, but admittedly a lot less 'polished' looking (albeit same job) on the hood as IC investor. I guess i am a bit of a sucker for a nice graph/interfaces....
Thanks in advance for any input!
