New America Stocks are not necessarily good trades, what I meant was that I found them on average a week or two BEFORE they appeared In New America Page and I can find them even 2 -3 weeks before. It's not just IBD but even magazines seem late on the uptake, but they do provide a confirmation of the picks and that is important. 2) Net earnings is trying to provide me with the customization I require. They do send me a list of 1,000 companies daily but they are working on the 50 or so I need. The good part is that the earnings plays are only about 20-25 (down from about 50 week and that should not be such a challenge as it seems to be) We are getting closer but we haven't reached the holy grail of earnings dates just yet. I am not even looking at how much that would cost me to provide, the cost is irrelevant. I am paying 5 times the price of the First Call Radar Report for my new service. Dick, when you are a perfectionist and dependent on the efficiency of a 3rd party for your own needs, you are basically at their mercy. I find myself and my 2 researchers calling daily despite the service. But I am determined to solve the problem 98%.. as that is the last hurdle I face in providing the best service for the least amount of money. I have tracked dates and successes of services probably more than anyone in this country to the point of obsession and I have not seen one service come up more accurate than our service.. Not in Investor's business daily, Barrons' market watch, yahoo,First Call, I.B.E.S., stockselector, quicken, or anywhere. I think somehow the problem would be solved if companies would not relagate the investor relations department to one answering machine that might or might not answer my query. but have patience, we are coming closer. We might not succeed to solve the problem completely in January but by February I expect we will close in our goal.
