< Dave, you are just plain dead wrong. Individuals do not have equal access to info, and anyone that tells you otherwise is selling something >

I don't think I am "plain dead wrong", but I respect your opinion and perspective. No one "tells me otherwise", I do my own homework. For example, I've spoken to QNTM a number of times when I owned the stock. If WDC or SEG came out with any kind of warning I was immediately on the phone to QNTM. If I can't get answers from IR or whomever then I ask to speak to someone else, such as the CFO. And I feel the company owes me answers as I am an owner, as you point out. I agree with you in that I, and most individual investors, never know when an analyst is planning to contact the company and what the focus of his questions might be. Next, I imagine even if companies published the info you describe on their web site there would still be a time lag. Analysts would have the info after their meeting or CC and QNTM would have to draft a document and then post it. It couldn't be done simultaneously as QNTM management wouldn't know what analysts would be asking until the meeting or call took place.

Earlier post was not to get you agitated, but life isn't always fair.
