Alicia, the best advice I can give is to find one source that you can =
satisfy yourself is reasonably accurate, complete and consistent, then =
stick with it.  When you use multiple sources for the same kind of data, =
you will spend far too much time trying to reconcile the data, and =
determine which is correct. The trend in data is more important than the =
raw data itself.=20

It's ok to use one source for news, another for volume or price alerts, =
another for earnings, another for analysis. Just use each source for =
different types of data.

  Mike: Thanks for responding and for fixing the leak.=20

  The fact that the Evaluator uses information from Yahoo Market Guide =
and I (and many others I suspect) use Daily Graphs creates a problem for =
me. DGO updates daily and the particular Market Guide report for Expedia =
was updated May 11th. There really shouldn't be much difference but here =
are a few of the inconsistencies that I found:=20

  P/E Ratio TTM: DGO 64; Yahoo NM=20

  EPS TTM: DGO $1.26; Yahoo -0.01=20

  Cash Flow TTM: DGO $2.12; Yahoo $1.06=20

  Return on Equity TTM: DGO 24%; Yahoo .73%=20

  If I am reading this correctly, based only on these inconsistencies, =
EXPE looks very good when evaluated by DGO and very poor when evaluated =
by Yahoo.=20

  Anyone out there care to help me clear the fog? I still don't know =
what I am doing wrong. Charley=20
