For example, let's say I want a population of stocks that are in the S&P 500 and are NOT energy stocks. I may be wrong but I don't think there's a way to do this in an OmniScan. Seems like we would need a different reserved variable (instead of Symbol) to return the Zack group or subgroup that a stock symbol belongs to in order to filter a starting population that consists of a list of stocks. But you are correct that there are ways to get lists of Zacks groups using the methods you suggested. There's plenty of value in that, it's just not what I'm looking to do. | |
