In addition to the Yahoo Earnings Calendar (linked above in previous post), you might try using these two web sites. http://www.earnings.com http://www.zacks.com Don't fret too much about GIVN. I cannot count the number of times volume evaporated after I made a purchase (See Journal One for numerous examples). These things happen. - Spydertrader
TradingBug- I've been using a Reuter's Screener to eliminate stocks having a negative EPS. When I find a candidate for the Final Universe, I double-check its EPS on Yahoo Finance to be sure the reported (Reuters) earnings are indeed positive via a second source (Yahoo). Hope that helps. GlenKK
GlennKK, Be careful that you don't cross check with web sites who use the same database. For instance Clearstation seems to use the Reuters database and I think Yahoo used to but I think they have changed. The only way I noticed something different at Yahoo was some time last year or a bit before their industry group classifications changed from the ones Reuters used to something else. Companies like Reuters are data providers to other companies, so you may think you are cross checking, but you're actually looking at the same data set. -ace

SpyderTrader- When I ran the Ranking W-L script on my Final Universe, the symbols you removed from your Final Universe were also missing in my scan results. So far.....so good..... But, the scan also identified IVAC as having failed qualifying rank criteria. Question 1: Was IVAC in your Final Universe? In addition to those symbols you identified being in DryUp tonight, my scan results included UEPS. Question 2: Was UEPS in your Final Universe? Your still-trying-to-follow-the-Jack Hershey-method student, GlenKK
Ace- Thanks for the heads up! My first attempt to code a screen for reuter's StockScreener, contained errors, which, I believe, you were astute enough to catch and subsequently point me in the right direction code wise-thank you again. One stock, MPWRE, survived my original screen, and SpyderTrader was kind enough to point out to me that the reason he didn't see it survive screening was that MPWRE had negative EPS, and I could see that for myself on Yahoo. So....Now if I find a new candidate for the Final Universe, I double check its EPS, and Yahoo seems to be a convenient venue to do that. GlenKK
Currently, neither equity above holds a place in my Final Universe. IVAC might have made its way onto your Final Universe while I spent two weeks on the Florida Beaches at the end of last month, or I simply overlooked it. UEPS currently has a place on the bench waiting for enough days traded under this current symbol (similarly to NTRI). - Spydertrader
Just wanted to say thanks very much to all who have shared their experience and results so far. It's useful to see the range of actual profit performance. Any one else care to share their experiences and results?
