An idea and a request: I've had some great success in the past 18 months using a filter I heard of some time ago. Simply stated, you take the earnings for the current quarter and add the prior three to it, for a total 12 month number. Then you go back 3 months and do the same, and so on. What you get is an earnings chart that graphs a number on a three month timeline, but that filters out quarterly noise. It's been working really well for me. A good recent example is ASND. You can sometimes see a turnaround on earnings months in advance of the stock price catching on. I know this is not a day trading deal, but it works for me on longer plays. I know that this chart is available on Bloomberg, but I can't afford it. I have been doing it by hand from the Value Line. Is there anyone out there that knows of or can think of a simpler way to do this? I have not found an Internet site where I can get earnings going back 3 or 4 years, I've been looking. Any help would be very appreciated. thanks, pete
