Stock Investment Guide description
A powerful tool for performing comprehensive fundamental stock analysis

The the Stock Investment Guide (SIG) was designed to be a powerful tool for performing comprehensive fundamental stock analysis of publicly traded companies. The Stock Investment Guide provides users with easy-to-use tools to use historical stock data to analyze historical growth trends, project earnings, and sales, and determine Buy, Hold, and Sell prices.

SIG uses a proven method of analyzing stocks, a method successfully used by stock clubs worldwide.

Using SIG is really easy. Our software integrates fully with the National Association of Investors Corporation (NAIC) online stock data. Users may also download stock data files from StockCentral.com. If you aren't a NAIC or Stock Central member, you can also use SIG to grab free stock data from the internet.

SIG works with the internet in unique ways, using exclusive features to understand the quality of potential investments. Users can view historical price graphs, research company news, research competitors, view SEC filings, get earnings estimates, and research technical analyses on the internet.

Share...
Easily share your analysis results with others using the NAIC* standard SSG datafile format. You can also import SSG data files from friends and stock club members to learn more about investing and stock analysis. View our online tutorial to see more about using SIG for stock analyses.

Report...
Printing reports with the Stock Investment Guide is even easier. You can print a standard 2-page stock analysis report, a condensed Stock Summary Report (SSR)™, company performance graphs, plus all of the online research data available in SIG.

Portfolio

Management...
As you become successful in your investment strategy, your portfolio value continues to grow. Eventually, the value of your portfolio far exceeds the value of any new investments being added to the portfolio. The importance of sound portfolio management increases as the value of your portfolio continues to grow. Churr Software developed the Portfolio Analysis Review (PAR), a software application that works with SIG's ssg data files to analyze the stocks in your portfolio. Learn more about PAR's great features.

Stock Comparisons...
The Comparison Analysis Review (CAR) software allows users to perform a side-by-side comparison of up to four completed stcok analyses. CAR uses SIG's .ssg data files to present four stocks on a single page, where users can highlight the best company based on each factor in the analysis. CAR is included with your purchase of the Stock Investment Guide software.
