Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Under Investment Q & A, as an example, Target price history - PYPL, current high target price $118.00, the deviation (line with dots) recent 13.9 -- can you explain what this indicates.

I am a long term member and I am noticing the below more than in the past:

A lot of questions have "take as many credits as needed". For instance, the longer the question the more credits are required or the more research done the more credits required, or the more companies asked about the more credits required? Please advise.

Thank you
Appreciate the years of good service.

On the deviation, it is referring to the deviation between target price numbers. A higher deviation meaning a wider spread between price targets. The scale being used is a bit misleading, in the PYPL chart for example, it looks like a large level of changes in the deviation, but it is really just fluctuating between 13.9 and 14.3. 

Generally we will charge more credits for very long questions or questions with multiple companies. We do use our discretion, however, and also look at the time required to complete a question.
