kurt. I doubt if an earnings date that is wrong would cast MG into the exile of rendering "everything we do invalid". It so happens that the earnings calendar I looked at for tonight's watch list was the one on briefing.com (charging $6.95 for "incorrect" dates) which just goes to show you once again how briefing.com is different from First Call (charging $75 for "incorrect" dates) which in turn is different from Market Watch and also Investor's Business Daily and Barron's which get their dates from First Call as well. Using First Call comprehensive reports which include earnings revisions updates and brokerage coverage' is quite adequate for what we charge and for the present that's all we will do. For $200-$500 a month I'm sure you'll get correct dates although I doubt anyone else even does earnings plays. Also I just got the earnings report for next week from First Call and there is a little 'disclaimer' saying they are not responsible for any errors in the dates.. so I'm sure First Call, a very respectable source with world wide offices will not get discredited either if a date is wrong. As I said there are plenty of date services out there and they are not all the same dates. I don't have the time to check out every single date. I wrote a previous post explaining the difficulty of getting the exact dates for all our plays. If I had gotten even 1 or 2 more complaint I would have immediately gone back to weekly calendars (3 to 10 days before the report) with just First Call like we did last quarter. But yours is the only one so I won't change anything. WhatI suggest if it means that much to you to either give a call yourself, wait until we have more staff (a few weeks away), drop the newsletter from your subscription and if the entire site is invalid than just drop the entire subscription and find something else that fits your needs. We understand we cant please everyone all the time.
