Chris,
I use Quotes Plus as well, but I also download the Yahoo Fundamental Data
once a week using AmiQuote. This gives you the best of both worlds, as you
can use both GetFnData AND GetExtraData functions.

Chris,

Thanks for the suggestions....I will try them. However with 
QuotesPlus as my data source, I do not have access 
to "OneYearTargetPrice" and do not use the GetFnData call. I am 
limited to the fields supported by the GetExtraData() function. 
Perhaps Tomasz will consider expanding the QP plugin to support the 
additional fields in the QP download?

Thanks,
Tom

OneYearTargetPrice = GetFnData("OneYearTargetPrice"); 
Upside=OneYearTargetPrice/C-1; Addcolumn(Upside,"Upside",1.2);

downgrade/lower). For this you could use any/many of the EPS 
estimates available from GetFnData. You just have to track it (this 
is the tough part) to see what it was a day ago, week ago, etc. 
Some of the most sustainable moves in growth stocks are found using 
revisions data.

sometimes help you buy the stock, but almost never help you get out, 
so even if you had this information, it would not help you exit the 
stock. I've done some studies on this (and # of covering analysts, 
next 12 months EPS estimates, etc) and related topics using 
thomsononeanalytics.com excel add-in data. Additionally, there have 
been several unsuccessful fund strategies at brokerage firms that 
used the buys/sells from the firm's analyst teams. Also, if analyst 
opinions are important to you, you may want to consider subscribing 
to Starmine, which ferrets out who are the best analysts and focuses 
on their moves.
