11 Reasons Why INVRS is Better Than Excel Alone

If you work with your own investment models you likely use excel to build them, but excel isn’t ideal for many reasons and it costs you in other ways. First, you need good data and it isn’t just lying around in an easy to import format. You’re either keying it in yourself or paying money for excel downloads. When you need data from numerous sources – price information, data from different statements and across multiple years - you must merge it from multiple sheets.

If you share this belief and you want exposure to this ma

GlaxoSmithKline Scores High in Quality

I created a portfolio of the top pharmaceutical companies trading in the US and ran a quality of earnings analysis on them. With the highest possible score being nine, GSK scored the best with seven. Here are the results: Quality of Earnings - Major Pharmaceuticals Here's the balance of the companies in the portfolio. We can see that AZN was the worst at two. Quality of Earnings - Major Pharmaceuticals 2 Just for laughs, lets see how GSK and AZN have performed from a price perspective. Interestingly, AZN has been outperforming GSK. It'll be interesting to say if this trend will continue or if it will, more correctly I believe, reverse.
