Personally - I do a fundamental overlay (in some degree on
anything I'm considering swinging) but Digi we only have so much
time. It takes a fair amount of time to perform even a brief
fundamental review (not just some glance at historical figures
which are often mistaken). Do you have any idea how long it
takes to organize a comprehensive nightly newsletter annotating
charts and then recording? What other site does that on a
daily basis as well as provides comments all day in the trading
community? Answer: NONE and even those that perform 1/10 of
that charge considerably more each month. So please take that
into consideration and be realistic with such
expectations.

Yep. It takes a lot of time (fundamental analysis and making
nightly videos). But I was thinking there might be 1, 2 or maybe 3
basic data points available via a public API that could at least
allow us to broadly categorize picks as potentially good for
________ (intraday trading only, overnight hold potential, enough
fundamental support to swing, potential long term hold idea).
Nothing's perfect, but I can glance at an IBD chart or FinViz
and tell a lot very quickly. All I'm suggesting is that it
would probably help all of us if the process was condensed....even
if imperfectly. I don't expect it to happen, but worth the
mention anyway.
*available via public API - in other words, no additional
work once setup....in theory. If it was me, I'd definitely
have a disclaimer in the column heading, like "not responsible for
data pulled from 3rd party provider via Yahoo finance API." Not
like anyone relies on a single fundamental data point to make a
trade, and most know that Yahoo and Google often disagree on the
same data point, but better to have a disclaimer anyway.
I think you just answered your own question - when an idea
appears YOU can simply take a moment to peruse such sources and
make such determination yourself - it's in the eye of the beholder
as to certain fundamentals. This is a technical website and
we are already stretched to the hilt on time but we would welcome
any additional insight you or anyone else may have relating to any
such security. Ironically, many of the big runners I have
seen over the past year plus have little to weak fundamentals
and/or extreme valuations historically but they get swept in the
passive investing scheme as so eloquently outlined by David
Einhorn.
