I am so glad SC includes inside and institutional ownership in their data. However, I would much prefer to see it expressed as a percentage, instead of number of shares. Also, what does the line for Interest Coverage mean? This snip came from LLL.
| Interest Coverage: |
3.8 |
| Insider Ownership: |
.4 |
| Institutional Ownership: |
109,302.1 |
|
| CURRENT POSITION |

The interest coverage ratio is a measurement of the number of times a company can make its interest payments with its earnings before interest and taxes.
Wikipedia says that it is calculated like this: EBITDA /Interest Expense |

Thanks for that clarification,
Joe. What about the idea to express the insider and
institutional ownership as a percentage, as the SSG calls for?
Best wishes, Gene

| While we are on this subject, when will you make the pertinent SSG data available as a one page 'printer friendly' option. I thought that had been revised once, but when I went to see about printing some for a small class I have coming up, it isn't suitable for the purpose. I'm not referring to inputting the SSG data into Toolkit. Gene |

| And while I am grousing on the subject ;-) Today is the 24th. How come the data sheets are only current through the 16th? TakeStock is current through closing yesterday. Gene |

Hi Gene,
We are updating the data as we speak, our data updater was out sick yesterday... We are working on an automated schedule, too. Sorry for the delay!
