this is complete garbage. maybe BIG should spend more time looking for one interesting idea/statistic, rather than publish 10 useless ones. If everyone on seeking alpha did this, we wouldnt have to wade through the useless commentary to find something interesting.

Ostrich,

Useless is in the eye of the beholder. I'd be willing to bet that pretty much all SA readers use a variety of data points to position their portfolios/generate trading ideas, and assign a wide variety of weights to those points.

Perhaps, if you subscribed to BIG's service, they'd be more than happy to provide you with the data that YOU deem "useful/interesting".

Old guy,

I really dont really need their data. I am just suggesting that they and others not post useless articles that simply clog up the Seeking Alpha site.
