ChartSmart

by CI Staff

ChartSmart was added to the Download Library at the end of 2007. The program is very useful to investors, combining both technical and fundamental analysis. In addition, the program offers a stock screening feature that covers almost 14,000 U.S. and Canadian stocks. After running a screen, you can sort through all the passing companies along with charts and fundamental data.

The beauty of this program is that it provides users with the ability to screen on both fundamental and technical criteria. For example, users can screen for stocks that are trading at a low price-earnings ratio, are high growth, and are breaking out of a downward trend. In addition, below the price and volume chart, line graphs are shown for operating revenue, cash, dividends and earnings. This feature makes it simple to see company trends. Furthermore, the charts have buttons that link to financial statements, earnings data, news stories and historical pricing information.

Discussion

As a user of Stock Investor Pro and MetaStock, Chartsmart has some advantages in saving time which is invaluable to me. I will give it some serious thought regarding its purchase.
