I like it. Got an example of a what you're thinking?
I've also thought that most screeners / algorithms / calculations are a bit too one size fits all ... meaning you can't really compare O metrics to PG metrics to KMP metrics but that's what the majority of stuff that I've seen does
Im thinking both along the lines of measurement metrics and news/articles. For metrics, I really like some visualizations used by MacroAxis and how it breaks things down for easier consumption. And very nicely puts things into perspective with industry peers.
I dont use that site as much as I like to, but its something I have considered paying for, in the past. The other one I want to try, but never tried so far is FAST graphs. Ive only heard great things about it.
About the news/articles/updates - thats a tough one. I try not to bother myself reading every single article written on a subject or company. Trying to consume everything produced by, say SA writers, is a losers game...I could spend days just reading about a company like Apple - which as someone in this forum said a few days ago - "Apple makes for 110% of all articles written in business and finance."
I follow some writers/bloggers whose opinion I value - and read what they have to say, but that also means I miss some great articles out there due to the noise. Equally important is article curation for that reason - and that is one of the reasons I have a weekly link curation on my own blog. Most other bloggers also have a link curation on a regular basis, but more often than not, it turns into sending traffic to other blogger friends (Ive noticed that I do this too...I seem to lean a bit more towards some of the bloggers like dividendgrowthinvestor.com, dividendmantra, and the like ... but I try to avoid falling into that trap and share more good articles I find elsewhere)
Heres a thought: Perhaps we can build a better article curation for the benefit of all and crowd source it from this forum's members? Im not sure if the forum itself is the best platform for that, but something to think about.
