I was a long time subscriber and have just started back up about 2 
months ago after a four year lapse.  It doesn't seem like the 
fundamental data is as clean as it used to be.  Did you change data 
providers?

The High PE, Low PE, PEG, Beta, DTE, IPct, and Earnings Growth data 
seems to be missing from a lot of stocks.  

Also the descriptions don't seem to be very descriptive.  I ran into 
one the other day that said "revenues decreased because of a decrease 
in revenues".  Also, I think they used to contain at least a little 
info on the company such as location and general product line.  For 
example, right now, I want to stay away from banks in Cal. and have 
to go to the internet to find out where they are headquartered.  A 
bunch of extra key/mouse strokes.

A specific example, on E Trade (ETFC) the sales for the Dec. 2007 
quarter is listed as -2007.95.  I think it is (virtually) impossible 
to have negative sales.  These stocks from the S&P 1500 also have 
negative sales numbers:

FNM   
FRE   
IFC   
LEH   
MBI   
MER   
MS    

VIA B doesn't have any numbers.

Anyway, the chart data still seems to be good and on time; and that 
is the most important thing of course.  But I think the fundamental 
data is a little less useful than it used to be.

Thanks,
Brian
