Calendars will be going back to their old format of 4-14 days in advance but it will still be the upgraded version by Cold Fusion. The earnings dates are different in almost any source I refer to. I won't sacrifice accuracy for 'long range dates' that's just not my style. The only reputable company that charges because they are pretty good is First Call, which is always quoted in all the magazine. Even their accuracy rate is off by 10-12% but until they give their earnings further out (wednesdays) for the following Monday through Friday.... Giving the calendar a month in advance was actually supposed to be a help, took me much longer by searching for 4 different sources than loading them into Telescan's prosearch..and filtering and scanning a month's worth. That would not have been so bad, I got used to it but there were too many dates that were off. Maybe it could work in the off-season, we'll give it another shot later on. Of course I'm not sure that this won't be cleared up shortly with the new calendar and wachlist format but until then we will go back to the old way. The calendar will return to weekly format the newsletter will the same as it was in May. One full newsletter every week for a week of plays. I am in intense talkswith the software programmers at Telescan and trying to get them to provider of 'earnings dates'themselves they are a bit more accurate but they don't give you as many about 1/3 of the amount of plays I get from First call 1 month in advance that into prosearch. It's so expensive that only someone of their capital potential can do it. I think they will be doing that and more since they seem interested in the earnings plays.. By the time the weekly calendar comes out this morning from First I see the discrepancy in the dates. Then there were the 2 or 3 I posted a quickly as I could since i got the report late and the telescan scans take at least an hour for just the first two scans. When you think about it, it does seem silly that so much work isexpended on just simple a task as earnings dates but thats the case. For the more off months it
