Hi Katherine:

That is disappointing news. My problem with briefing, yahoo, zacks etc... is that they only list companies with estimates, and filter based on meeting/beating etc... They are missing all the microcaps with no well-known analysts, and they don't have much info on each company - making a first-cut valuation or RS measure impossible.

So far, the best online resource I have found is earnings.com - but it is just a master list of links, requiring individual analysis of each earnings press release - slow, and extremely tedious. Not practical for me on the days when hundreds of companies report.

Hard to believe that after all this time, and all the money that gone into web investing, something as essential as this is still missing online :(

Thanks.

Ian

  Hi Ian,

  Unfortunately, they don't have the earnings info on the web site. Wouldn't that just make too much sense?

  I use Briefing.com, but they only track more liquid issues. They also do not give a full summary like the IBD does, so you're still forced to read the press release end of day after the announcements to cull the actuals. Another good site is

  http://www.companyboardroom.com/earning.asp?month=20020504&day=20020303&date=20020503&client=cb

  But again, same issue... Wish there were an online site that summarized as nicely as the IBD.

  Katherine

    Hi all:

    Since I am not allowed to subscribe to IBD (I live in Canada), I am also not allowed to subscribe to their website. I was wondering if one of you who does have full investors.com site access could tell me if the full print daily 'earnings' section is also online, and if it is, at what time of day it is published?

    If it is available online, hours before markets open, I'm going to have to find a way to get access, as I am missing out on a lot of first few hour trigger points by reading my paper 4-5 hours after the market opens.

    Thanks a lot,

    Ian
