Just how good can VectorVest get? I don't know, but I can tell you this: As long as you, our subscribers, keep sending in your suggestions, VectorVest will get better and better. Thanks to our talented Product Development Group, I'm pleased to present a summary of our latest improvements.

PORTFOLIOS. You may now view your Portfolios as an alphabetical list as well as by the traditional "Tree" configuration of Groups and Portfolios. This new feature makes it extremely easy to find any Portfolio and its Group location. It also provides a complete inventory of your Portfolios.

A new filter has been added to the "Buy from Search" and "Short from Search" functions which allows you to specify the maximum number of stocks to be selected from any Business Sector. This feature may be used alone or in conjunction with the Industry Group filter.

A new button labeled "News" has been added to the tool bar of the Portfolio screen, (all data screens, actually), which allows you to access Yahoo!Finance with a click of the mouse provided you are connected to the internet.

GRAPHS. A field labeled "Add to WatchList" has been added to every graph which allows you to add stocks to any existing or new WatchList while you are still viewing the graph. This feature makes it much easier and faster to build a WatchList of the stocks you want to track. You may also access Yahoo!Finance from a graph by clicking on the company name shown on the graph. Finally, the Default setting on Custom Graph Dates has been changed to start two years ago and end one year ago as compared to previously starting in 1996. This revision makes it much easier and convenient to study more recent graphical information.

UNISEARCH. As with Portfolio Manager, the alphabetical format for locating and viewing searches has been added. This feature solves a major problem in knowing exactly where your searches are located. Surprise, surprise. Green and red arrows are shown with the searches to signify whether a search is bullish or bearish. Yes, you can add this feature to your searches by using the Edit function.

A major improvement has been made to the UniSearch tool by adding a filter which allows you to specify the number of top or bottom stocks to find by any parameter or indicator. This feature may be used alone or in conjunction with other filters. Just think about what you can do with this feature. For example, you may wish to deal with only the top 20 RS stocks in the top 10 RT Business Sectors. This feature is used in today's "Strategy of the Week."

Finally, the "Save Search as" screen has been modified to allow you to enter the Name, Description and Group all at one time. Cool.

VECTORVEST VIEWS. The "Market Calls Viewer" and "Strategy of the Week Viewer" menu options have been moved from the Viewers Menu to the Views Menu. A new feature, the "Essay Viewer" has also been added to the Views Menu. This feature displays a chronological list of all the weekly essays which have appeared in VectorVest Views. Finally, the ability to search the Views by section as well as by date has been added.

While I have tried to be both brief and clear in describing these enhancements, the best way to see how they work is to visit the VectorVest University. Keeley Murphy does a wonderful job of describing how to use each of these VectorVest Enhancements. Simply click on http://www.vectorvest.com/vvuniversity/upgraderedir.aspx.

P.S. If you haven't already done so, take a few minutes to attend one of our new weekly classes on Market Timing and Strategy. They're really great. Simply click on For further demonstration of this strategy, please see VectorVest Univity.
