How to view what you'd see in the print version:

For the different narrative sections of the print versions, links may be found in the upper right area of the homepage, under "Quick Links."  For example, clicking "Selection & Opinion" opens a PDF version of that section.

To look at a page for a specific stock, type the name of the stock or its ticker symbol in the search box at the top right of the page. This opens a page that's similar to the print edition but is interactive.  For a PDF of the exact page they'd see, look at the bottom right of the page in the "Value Line PDF Reports" box.  The patron can then choose which report date they would like to see.

How do I look at the classic PDF report for a company?

First, look up a company or select a company from a list. In the “Action” bar near the top of the report is a link for “PDF reports” – you can select from the most recent four reports listed there. Or, from a company report, select the “Value Line PDF Report” module and view the report you are interested in.

For more information on how to use the digital version, you can go to Value Line's help page and/or click the Help link at the bottom of every page.
