Is there a better value out there?

Darts.

There is no crystal ball to tell you who the winners are. There may be some to warn you against losers, however.

You might try wallstreetcity.com. the drawback of using searches every time you decide to make purchases is that you have little background knowledge or experience with the stock, including getting a feel for how the stock trades over time. most will develop a short and stable watchlist of companies or exchange-traded funds so that the company background is easier to follow.

If you do not already have an in-depth familiarity about the various tools, so you could assess reality from hype, it sounds a bit rash to shell out $1000.

You may want to check out AAII -- American Association of Individual Investors.

http://www.aaii.com/

They are non-profit, reasonable membership fee, and you can get a lot of screening software free or nearly free from them. They also frequently assess various investment software and approaches. I think they also have local seminars occasionally (for members)

As a first step, before shelling out $1000 for some unknown software, I would check them out.

You also may want to provide here the name of the company/software you are considering, maybe some people have heard of it and can give you specific feedback on that particular software.

Check out:

on the left on software.

They are affiliated with AAII and NAIC (National Association of Investor's Corporation), another investor non-profit organization. Click

Ben Graham, and the fundamentals?

It sounds like the folks selling the software have found themselves a more profitable racket than using their own software to invest their own dollars.

I have been intrigued by StocksAtBottom. This is the only newsletter I know of that posts their recommendation histories.

They seem to be real to me. Anyone else have experience with SAB?
