The buyside funds who are in EIDSY probably have done meticulous research, so I think they would have had the accurate P/E. At least one hopes their research is meticulous. The change should be a positive actually in the long-term because it makes it more clear that EIDSY is more undervalued than these screens showed. I mean if you saw EIDSY on a Reuters terminal two days ago, it would seem as if it was over-valued by twice as much. Perhaps they forgot to make the currency conversion. Quotecom didn't even have earnings and a P/E of 25 (talk about being irresponsible). The more consistent the earnings and P/E data are on EIDSY, the easier it is for investors to do research and locate it as an investment. While the changes are good, it doesn't change anything from the fundamentals so I don't think it would have a big effect. It does make research more consistent since I/B/E/S and Quotecom often have different data. Value investors who use these screens to sift through companies may come across EIDSY more easily now and that's a good thing. Quotecom like I/B/E/S is a source of information for many wire services and real time and historic data, including Yahoo I think. So it may make sense to inform Yahoo today. Perhaps we should tell them of the change at Quotecom and I/B/E/S. But I don't have their e-mail or phone number. Bleeker
