I only have the market cap figures from QP saved for the past couple days though so I won't have much history to study unless I can make the simplifying assumption that shares outstanding haven't changed much over the past x (30?, 60?) days. Any thoughts? I can send you the code if you like, although the guts are not QP. Karl, I would very much like to look at the code and would be interested in whether or not the other program you speak of automatically access your .lst files and extracts the info, etc. I am assuming you are using something such as PERL or VB. I am using Access to manipulate my .lst files once QP2 creates them but would like to find something even more trouble free. I am a self taught (and still learning) hacker. No formal training just trial & error until it works. But I am very very good at using copy & paste. :-) As far as the market cap changing, I really don't think it would matter a whole lot since what you are looking for is relationships. And I don't think there will be enough change to affect those relationships. Monty PS The slopes are much easier to SEE than just raw numbers.
