  1. IBD daily graphs, are they the best for sector/subsector charts?
    anything else with good coverage out there?
     
  2. Tc2000 has hemscott industry groups that show their grouping of industries + subindustries.

    IMO IBD graphs are not as good as some others. See for example stockcharts.com.

    I once was an IBD subscriber, but i found their software to be unreliable, to be too platform dependent, and badly out of date compared to what others were offering for less money. There are also websites that will do the same kind of equity scans that one gets from IBD, but again, for a lot less money. Also, having read the IBD founder's books, my opinion is that the investment advice given (basically intermediate-term momentum trading is being advocated) while good. is again somewhat out of date, especially with regard to investment outside the US. Thirty years ago a subscription to IBD was unquestionably an important tool for investors and traders, today that is no longer so. These are just my personal opinions, and i am sure there are many who would disagree.
