This is the information quoted in the Support Article

My data for StockScouter, Hoovers, briefing etc?

Some data sources have changed in the new MSN.com; for example, you will no longer find StockScouter or Hoovers, but we have added MorningStar. This should provide a single source for most of this data.

As I stated earlier, use the Feedback link to request the feature be brought back.  The more members requesting it the merrier.  It takes time but I have known this to work.

    I contacted Versus Analytics about a month ago.  They never answered the phone, but did respond to an email.

      They were surprised as anyone that MSN dropped them from the new Money website.  However, they were under some contract with MSN that prevented them from giving Stockscouter to another website, or posting Stockscouter on their own.  They said they had to hear from MSN that MSN was terminating their contract/agreement with them before they could put Stockscouter elsewhere.  They said they would contact me if Stockscouter becomes available elsewhere.  I told them I'd be happy to subscribe to them for a moderate fee...maybe $20 a month, or something like that.

      I have not heard from them since.  I wish MSN would bring it back.

    If you are logged into MSN, then the feedback option will appear when you select the tools gear next to your login image

    Stockscouter certainly seemed helpful. I would like to see it return.

    I know that Jim from InvestorJim.com also used Stock Scouter in his personal stock market coaching. The program was fantastic but not sure what he uses as an alternative to this site.

    Please bring it back!

    Thanks for the information and I totally agree with you MarcAtWork.  I am so surprised that MSN would pull this rating system without any warning.  I find Morningstar to be very elementary and practically useless.  Since this is a proprietary product, it seems ridiculous they have pulled it and NO ONE can use it.  I too would gladly pay a small fee to use the service.  I am a retired financial professional and relied on StockScouter ratings to help me manage my portfolio.  Perhaps MSN did not realize the importance of this rating system to those of us that used it.  It seems they are seeking an audience that is less savvy and more simplistic when it comes to stocks and investments.  They currently have nothing to offer me with the Morningstar ratings.  I join you in asking MSN to either return StockScouter to their website or allow Verus to share the ratings directly with us.  

    This shows how much Microsoft disregards its many customers.  This was the only part of MSN money that I relied on to get good investment advice.  Please bring back this feature.
