  • User Defined Custom Report Items (Word, 1.9KB)
    At the 2003 Better Investing National Convention, we demonstrated how Jim Thomas had created some custom report items. They are somewhat complex, so Jim has kindly given his permission for us to post them here along with a few extra report items.
  • Here are some additional queries you can download and import into Stock Prospector. These were developed by Doug Gerlach for use in his screening classes given at chapters, CompuFest and the Better Investing National Convention.
    To use them in Stock Prospector, right click on the link below, and then select Save Link As (or Save Target As) and save them to your hard drive. (A good place to save them on your computer is in the Queries directory in your Stock Prospector directory, which is located by default at C:\Program Files\NAIC Software\Stock Prospector\Queries). Then, from Stock Prospector, select File > Import Query File and select the query. Once you have imported the query, be sure to save it in your program by opening the Define Screening Criteria screen and clicking the Save List button at the bottom. You will probably also want to edit the Report items for each query to include more items for each screen.
