Jenna,

I have a suggestion that might be useful for a lot of us. I have gotten caught a couple of times in watchlist stocks that turned out to be reporting earnings (and they dropped).

I would really appreciate it if the watchlist had an indication of whether a stock was on or near its earnings date.

What I have to do now is plug each watchlist into Yahoo quotes, and check each one for a potential earnings date.

Even more confusing is the fact that the watchlist stocks that are reporting do not appear on the earnings calendar (e.g., #4, #8 from today's watchlist).

It would help to have one of the following for each watchlist stock:

Earnings=2/24/99 (if you know the date reliably)
Earnings=3/4/99 est. (If you got it from Yahoo or some other less
reliable source)
Earnings=QE 3/99 (Quarter ends in March, so don't worry about it)
Earnings=2/18/99 (If it's only been a few days since it reported)

If the Earnings parameter is missing, then I know to check it myself, as I do now.

It would also help to have the watchlist stocks appear on the earnings calendar.

I know you're doing a ton of other stuff to improve the service, so I'll understand if this has to be put off for a while.
