Joe: This is an overall malaise that affects our industry/commerce today. Nuts and bolts engineers are familiar with standards and welcome them. Data, computer, finance reporting, and cell phone types are unaware of the need for standards or don't want to be "confined" by them. They act like the electric industry used to when every manufacturer had a different size bulb so that you had to get your electric fixtures and lights from the same manufacturer. (This ended in the 1920s when Herbert Hoover, then Secretary of Commerce, created the American National Voluntary Standards System that got around the legalities that prevented the Federal Government from developing standards.)
In stock reporting there is no standard for indentifying by the tickers the class of shares. With different data sources there is no standard for mutual funds prefixes. QP use !, Reuters uses *. This can be a problem when you are looking at data from different sources. QP has a dictionary module that allows automatic conversions , but this doesn't deal with your problem. Redoing all your previous work because HGS follows their own standard is a slow tedious chore and you have my sympathies.

Here is Ron's message describing the changes: This blows a hole through all my work with Industry and Sector Groups and as Mr. Jones mentioned on the HGS board, it means hours of remapping and ripples completely through the Amibroker software that I've developed. I'd like to recommend that you choose an industry/sector mapping that is standard with the industry and separate from Ron Browns designs, unless of course you only want to meet the HGS users requirements. I would hope that's not the case and that you would continue to support Amibroker users who depend on you for data. Please let me know if there's a work around this change outside of "NOT DOWNLOADING" the data, or a way of substituting one of the standard industry mapping.

TTM EPS is twelve month trailing earnings per share According to QP data it is $3.11 According to Yahoo, it is $6.55 Which is it? If QP is right, than ACAS is paying more in dividends than it earned. If Yahoo is right, then ACAS is doing great. Chat board at Yahoo says ACAS is doing great because of the low dividend payout ratio which is dividends payed divided by TTM EPS. Am I reading the above numbers correctly? TTM EPS has a specific definition, does it not?..no room for different definitions, right?

Here is Ron's message describing the changes: When you download today, you will find that the group and sector structure of HGSI has changed. We consolidated some very small groups into larger groups to give us a total of 150 Industry Monitor groups rather than 193. Also, the sectors have been reduced from 12 to 10. The new sector structure is on top, and the old is on the bottom. I will be out of town until later this after noon, but when I return, I will record my weekly report and show you how to download and update my User Groups. I will cover all of this plus the market situation.
