IBD Stock Checkup

IBD Stock Check Up is one of our most popular tools. The Checkup is
simple to use and gives you one overall rating on any stock, plus crucial
fundamental and technical data. The Stock Checkup also compares a
stocks performance to others in the group so you know if youre looking
at the true leader. Plus, you get a quick checklist to help you determine
the strength of your stock on key criteria. The Stock Checkup does the
research for you and evaluates your stock easily and quickly.

Stocks on the Move

IBDs research has found that when it comes to picking stocks, volume is just as
important as price. Stocks moving up and down on unusually high volume typi-
cally indicate institutional (mutual funds & banks) buying and selling. Stocks on
the Move shows you such stocks throughout the day. This powerful feature will
help you find newer and cutting edge stocks that youd miss otherwise.

IBD Charts

IBD charts give you the price and volume action to help
you spot buy points. Youll also see 10 & 50 moving aver-
age lines, the Relative Strength line and rating, and can
view daily or weekly charts. Every stock chart is displayed
full screen, making it easy to read all of the data.
