Subject: Re: Value Line data
Yup. Another week with no useful rankings. I don't know how much longer I'm going to throw away my money for this shitty subscription.

A recap for the last 3 months (remembering that each file is generally released 4 days before the date in the file name):

File name dated Nov 15: seems OK
File name dated Nov 22: All stock prices and "Current P/E" fields bad by a mile.
File name dated Nov 29: seems OK
File name dated Dec 6: seems OK
File name dated Dec 13: All stock prices and "Current P/E" fields bad by a mile.
File name dated Dec 20: seems OK
File name dated Dec 27: seems OK
File name dated Jan 3: seems OK
File name dated Jan 10: no total return fields for 1-,4-,13-,26-week
File name dated Jan 17: no total return fields for 4-,13-,26-week
File name dated Jan 24: no total return fields for 4-,13-,26-week
File name dated Jan 31: no total return fields for 4-,13-,26-week
File name dated Feb 7: seems OK
File name dated Feb 14: seems OK

For all of the errors mentioned above, most other fields I did a spot check on seem OK (?), but it wasn't exhaustive so there may be other problems.

As for whether this poor product is worth renewing, I saved myself anguish (and hassle) and recently renewed for five years (for which they give a good discount). Maybe a waste of money, but I don't have to make the decision every year!
