    Once again, thanks for taking the time to reply. Yeah, I kinda spaced out on the time of MO's earnings release - for some reason I thought it was going to be after today's close. I was concentrating on 3 other stocks that announced last night (happy to report all 3 moved over a dollar). I did day trades on all 3 but now I have to wait another 5 days before I can do it again - don't have enough money for day trading yet.

    Thanks for the link on earnings schedule. I was wondering is there one site where you can see released earnings with how they relate to the estimates (outperformed/underperformed)? I look at seeking alpha but you gotta look at each stock individually. I wish there was a page where you could see all of these together for the day.

    Briefing.Com has a decent service for about $30/month (I think that is the rate...it is relatively inexpensive whatever it is) whereby you can compare estimated earnings to actual along with a few other things. But, I don't know of a free service that allows you to do it.

    Cool. Thanks, I will check it out. For now I will be reading your posts - you seem to have most of the pertinent info I'm looking for anyway. :) Thank you for making an effort to get it together - greatly appreciated.

    Hey Azzzy, to be a better trader, you have to make it your business to know what is going on BEFORE you pluck down your money. You don't want to loose your money do you? Otherwise, you may as well head to vegas and simply spin the wheel. Information is the key to help you make money consistently. Figure out what investment strategy is right for you. Find a few good stocks that fit your strategy then learn all you can about them one at a time. Do this before you start sticking your money in. This way you will tend to loose less of your money on your trades. You may start out lucky, but you learn little and you will eventually get spanked. I post because I find it surprising you already had money in and you didn't even know when earnings report. I would sugest you stop what you are doing and start doing homework. Lots of homework...
