Tim, down below is from MG's FAQ's. Look at the last 3 watch lists and you will see the numbers. If you check back a few days you will notice the codes (WL for watch lists) and (EP for earnings plays) We call numbers from both the watch list (usually only one day in code)afterwards its 'free'. Sometimes I call another day in code, depends on the market. Can you Please explain the coding system that I see you using on Silicon Investor? Market Gems Coding System; Simple on Silicon Investor Our coding system for newbies: The numbers we use are on the calendar.. NOT on the newsletter itself the calendar is accessible through the "CALENDAR" navigational button or the newsletter navigational button on the homepage. The calendar is always out on the Thursday morning BEFORE the week of earnings which begins of course on every new Monday through Friday. That means that the stocks reporting May 3 through 7 will already be listed on the calendar by April 29 and the corresponding newsletter with the analysis will be out by May 2nd. This is to enable early entry in some of the stocks. MAST,CI,CSC,AOC, PWR,CDNW,SE, SONE,EXPD,ERTS,ATVI,SEE all gave early entry buy signals. All the stocks are numbered and in columns next to the date they report. Print out the "printer friendly" calendar on the bottom of the java calendar (just click the URL) so you can have the list beside you. In the 'heavy' earnings season we might have about 28-30 stocks for the week. The ones that do nothing we simple ignore. We call only the ones that trigger technical buy signals. By the time they are called you will have the newsletter (out by Sunday afternoon) which gives you in depth fundamental and technical analysis of the company so you are not flying blind. We don't believe in just calling stocks without any preparation beforehand. Earnings Plays (EP): #4 May 4 EP, or #4 5/4 EP would mean the fourth stock on the list from May 4..for instance the stock Quanta Services was #2 5/7 EP, which stands for Stock Number 2 on the earnings play calendar for May 7th, or MAST which was #2 EP 5/6, or #2 EP May 6 Watch List (WL) : This is the WL code... today's watch list: for instance when we called "RAD" it was #8 WL 5/4 or #8 WL May 4. We rarely go back into an older watch list using codes by that time we use the stock name and symbol so you don't have to delve too deeply into your database.
