The following pages will describe
some of the various features of the Stock Investment Guide
for Windows. This is not a complete tutorial of the software,
but rather highlights some areas that may be of interests.
If
you are an individual investor who wishes to perform fundamental
stock analysis, the the Stock
Investment Guide (SIG) will suit your needs. If you
are a member of a stock club, you will be able to share data
files with your club members using the interchangeable .ssg
data file format.
Data Entry
Sure, you can enter data by hand, but that is almost
like the days users had to use a ruler, calculator and graph
paper to analyze public companies. SIG offers you several options
to quickly and painlessly enter data.
1. SIG is fully integrated with NAIC's Stock
Data Service (previously call Online Premium Service). The
SDS is a separately available service through the NAIC (currently
$25 for stock club members or included in the $79 individual
membership).
2. SIG is also fully integrated with the data
service provided by Stock
Central. Stock Central currently has a 90 day free trial.
An annual subscription costs $39.
3. Free data is also available
to SIG owners. While this is not a complete data file, SIG
can extract the minimum amount of data for a stock analysis
from various web sites on the internet. Users must verify the
validity of such data. This is
a useful features for users that would otherwise enter data
by hand, but not one that can be fully relied upon with the
same confidence as the NAIC or Stock Central data services.
We will lead you through all of the features
