The seven SuperValue Calculators use fundamental analyses to calculate hypothetical market values for the stock of individual companies.
Results of the Fundamental Experts pre-computed scan types are available for immediate download.
Users can set market scans using Fundamental Data criteria or Fundamental Experts criteria. Each criteria can be used with other fundamental criteria or other criteria types such as chart, indicators, etc.
The Company Announcements Hi-Lite allows users to insert icons in a company's price chart indicating the point at which earnings announcements were made. A table can also be displayed with the details of each announcement.
All of the SSA screens, and many other Fundamental Analysis Tools in ValueGain such as the SuperValue Calculators, rely on high quality Fundamental Data to function correctly.
Most Fundamental Data is gleaned from company's financial statements, collected and consolidated in standardized formats, and delivered via the HUBB server.
A thorough description of these processes, together with information on the source of Your SOFTWARE's fundamental data and its distribution and maintenance, can be viewed in the Fundamental Data Overview topic.
ValueGain's Start Page screen can be displayed by selecting the Start Page command from the Fundamental tool button menu.
It has two sections: Pre-computed Scan Results on the left margin of the work page, and the Individual Results Display of selected fundamental data and the actual price charts for individual stocks on the right side of the work page.
Both the display of the scan results, as well as abbreviated summaries of the results of various expert's opinions, is organized in terms of Fundamental Analysis model groups, each of which is divided further into individual analyses and results based on individual Experts associated with each of those broad schools.
The Start Page also contains a number of links to the four Single Stock Analysis (SSA) tabbed pages as well as the Company Comparison tabbed page.
Located on the left margin of the Start Page, the Pre-computed List section provides a convenient access point to pre-computed fundamental scan results.
Pre-computed Fundamental Scans are scans that are performed daily by data technicians at HUBB Financial on all markets. The scans are based on parameters and settings used by some of the most famous traders from a number of different fundamental analysis models.
The scans are run daily at the market close of each market and the results are saved to the HUBB server.
When users open ValueGain's Start Page, the most recent Fundamental Scan Results are downloaded and displayed.
The scan results are organized into Markets, Groups of Experts and Individual Expert Models.
When an Individual Expert is selected, the results of scans using that expert's analysis models and parameters for the selected market are displayed in the Symbols list.
Select an individual symbol from the list to view its details in the remainder of the work page, to the right.
For more information, go to the Start Page topic or the Pre-computed Scans Overview topic.
When the Symbols list in the Pre-computed List section is populated with scan results, by default the details for the first symbol are displayed in the various tables and graphs on the right hand side of the Start Page.
Click on another result in the Symbols List to view its details on the right of the page.
Note - If the symbol has not previously been viewed, the download of fundamental data may take a short period. There is much more data involved in a fundamental download than there is for a price chart.
