There is only a partial tally of the the total ideas submitted in the "Status" drop-down list.

I counted 331 in that list that actually have a status but well over 2000 in the category list to the left.

In short not all ideas appear to have been considered, reviewed, implemented or closed.

A status indicator of all ideas submitted would help both the user and VectorVest by being able to quickly check the status of existing ideas and to prevent inputting ideas that already have a status.

Also provide the status in each idea that correlates with the status drop-down list where a person can see how each idea is being, or has been, handled as they search ideas and look thru existing ideas, without having to go to the status drop-down list.
