What is BetterInvesting's SSG software?

BetterInvesting’s SSG software refers to the Stock Selection Guide® (SSG®)—a core stock-analysis methodology and tool that lies at the heart of BetterInvesting’s educational resources and member tools.

What is the Stock Selection Guide (SSG)?

  • Foundation of the Approach
    The SSG serves as BetterInvesting’s primary stock analysis tool, helping investors organize historical financial data to assess a company’s growth potential and valuation. It enables plotting of future growth based on past trends, while offering guidance on reasonable pricing based on price-to-earnings (P/E) and historical price data.

  • Purpose
    It empowers individual investors—both new and experienced—to determine whether a company fits the profile of a quality growth stock and whether it’s priced reasonably.

Versions: CoreSSG vs. SSGPlus

BetterInvesting offers two web-based versions of the SSG:

  • CoreSSG - for the beginner or new users of the SSG method. This tool offers a step-by-step easy-to-use format which is ideal for learning the methodology.
  • SSGPlus - for experienced users familiar with the SSG method. This is a more advanced two-page form view with faster workflow, richer graphs, quarterly data, expanded screening tools (including Ticker Heat Map), and more portfolio reports. Includes CoreSSG as well.
