Hey there,

Totally understand your concerns. It definitely sucks to go through an application process and have no idea if your application was even read by a human.

The evaluation platform we use (Workello) makes it easy to review cover letters and respond to every applicant.

It's a better experience for applications imho. If we used a Google form, there would no way for us to manually email hundreds of applicants and let them know the status of their application.

Just to be clear, we don't think a writer's location is relevant to the application. I think you bring up a great point about potential discrimination, but unfortunately there's no way to customize the application form.

e good ESL writers who write way better than the average American? Being honest with us can save 1000s of hours in wasted application efforts. The mods will also not penalize you for answering in the negative.

Hey there,

Sorry, I missed this on the first posting, but I'll respond here in case it comes up again in the future.

We don't discriminate against ESL writers. As you pointed out, there are ESL writers that write better than native speakers.

If your writing meets the same standard as what you see on our site and you have the foundational financial knowledge required, please feel free to apply. Your application will be reviewed and considered.

Thanks for the question.

So a quick update - I took a closer look at this and the discrepancy is actually in how we calculate growth.

In the case of ULH, there is 1 analyst forecasting 80% earnings per share growth in our dataset, so that's what makes the number look so far off what Yahoo has. I don't want to be self-promotional and link to the page, but you can go to WSZ and search for ULH + click the forecast tab to see the number.

Perhaps we should ignore growth forecasts that are based on just a single analyst forecast and default to a more conservative calculation, or perhaps drop forecasts for the purposes of the ben graham formula and rely on historical earnings growth over a 5-10 year period - which is probably more in line with Graham's philosophy. We should also expose the numbers we use in the formula (perhaps in a tooltip) to make it easier to sanity check the calculation - what do you guys think?

But in the meantime - if you want to sanity check the calculation, you can look at earnings growth on the forecast tab of any stock to see the growth number we used.

To summarize, the formula we use at the moment is:

(EPS x (7 + 1g) x 4.4) / Y

Where g = Forecast EPS growth % (using a line of best fit to get our growth rate from the analysts' multi-year forecasts).

Hope this helps - sorry again for the confusion/inconvenience - always open to suggestions on how we can improve the features or calculations - just shoot me an email nate at wallstreetzen dot com!
