Churr Software, offers its Stock Investment Guide software on both Macintosh and PC platforms. Churr clients are about evenly split between individual investors and investment clubs.

"CHURR software's Stock Investment Guide (SIG), the only investment analysis software on Macintosh computers, provides users fundamental stock analysis of publicly traded companies from free Internet data sources. SIG software consists of easy-to-use tools analyzing historical growth trends, projected earnings, and sales, presenting results in graphic format" explained Etana, "I have been quite successful growing my investments using SIG by following the NAIC methodology. The part I like best is each software user determines his/her own Buy, Hold, and Sell stock prices, based on the factual analyses and their own personal investment objectives."
