RE: Watchlist - Traders method

I created a downloadable spread sheet in the Elite members area showing all the current stages for the S&P DJ US Indices. In order to find which DJ US index a stock belongs to I enter the ticker symbol into stockcharts.com to bring up the chart of the stock then tick the "full quote" box below the chart before updating. This then shows the sector and index above the chart to reference to the index listings in the spread sheet. You do not need to be a paid member of stockcharts.com to do this. It would be easier if those that post charts from stockcharts up here were to show this information on their charts

Talking about Stockcharts.com, I emailed them today pointing out that they had wrongly categorised a stock. Within a short space of time they emailed me back thanking me and telling me that it had been corrected. Excellent CS considering I'm not a customer!
When I get time I am going to have a look at how Chartmill categorises stocks and see how it compares with the DJ US Indices. I think getting the grouping right of stocks is one of the most important aspects of stage analysis and probably one of the main reasons I have not being getting the results I desire. That now appears to be changing.
