The bottom line is this: When a company reports its quarterly earnings, people compare it with First Call to see if it made the estimates or missed. NOT YOUR BS SERVICE, if one exists. Why bother posting all this nonsense and wasting everybody's time? BTW it's not just as easy to skip your posts and move on as you suggest. It's LOTS of junk that you put up here and one can't move on without bumping into a post that does not refer to you. Prakash

If it annoys you so much to read about earnings revisions, please do not read my posts. No one is forcing you to. Fine advice, except we're not reading about earnings revisions. We're reading about your claims that earnings revisions exist. It doesn't do us any good knowing that they exist without knowing which direction they were revised, what they are now, and whether the source of the estimate is usually above, below, or right on the actual earnings. And unless you demonstrate that you know the advantages and disadvantages of each analyst or reporting service, it won't do you much good to know which ones are making or reporting revisions. And unless we know who's making or reporting revisions, we have no way of determining the advantages and disadvantages of each analyst or reporting service. Doug.
