Yes. In a few cases they have been thinly traded/penny stocks. But in many other cases they have decent volume and price. Take ZOLT for example -- it's around $8 at the moment and trades on NASDAQ (i.e. not OTC or pink sheets), with a market cap of 300 million. And it's not that Yahoo is...

Do you get anything more by paying than what's available on Yahoo/MSN from InPlay for free? For example: http://finance.yahoo.com/marketupdate/inplay http://news.moneycentral.msn.com/provider/provider.aspx?feed=BCOM&iPage=1 This feed has a lot more than earnings announcements, which makes...

Yep, I'm using the briefing.com earnings calendar as well: http://www.briefing.com/GeneralContent/Investor/Active/ArchiveSearch/ArchiveSearchInvestor.aspx?PageId=3269 It lists Wall Street Horizon as its data source, but the data on this page seems less comprehensive (or at the very least...

I can't seem to find bloomberg's earnings-related newsfeed page. Can you point me to it? Zacks has summaries of just a few selected ("top") earnings reports here: http://www.zacks.com/newsroom/mkt_news.php?s_id=230w0748 I couldn't find anything more comprehensive. It's interesting to...

At first glance, this looks ideal -- very easy to parse, ticker symbols available in the headline without having to download each article individually. But then I checked a few symbols that Yahoo and MSN were missing in their earnings-specific feeds, and unfortunately, it looks like...

Does this feed specify a timestamp for each earnings report, or at least whether the announcements were before the market open or after the close? I like the frequently updated data, but the price is high given that I'm not looking for a fully-featured realtime stock price feed.

I do use earnings.com as well. It's one of the better data sources out there, but it isn't comprehensive, and it frequently has gaps in its time information (i.e. whether the announcement was before market open or after market close). It also misses many announcements until a day or more after...

I'm trying to find a source for company earnings announcements that I can rely on programmatically to see if a given stock has announced earnings that day. The closest ones I've found so far are by Yahoo Finance and MSN Money: http://biz.yahoo.com/topic/earnings/...

I'd like to place the following kind of order: If XYZ opens at or above 50.01, buy 100 shares (i.e. buy stop at 50.01). ELSE if XYZ opens at or below 49.99, short 100 shares (i.e. sell stop at 49.99). This seems suitable for a one-cancels-other order, but here is my concern. Let's say XYZ...

The Maximum Pain strike is the strike at which the net value of all puts and calls for that month would be minimized, if the underlying closed at exactly that value on expiration day. Check out this web site for more information and graphs: http://www.ez-pnf.com/maxpain.htm

I had read a while back that thinkorswim planned on offering an options backtesting feature / historical options data to its members. Are they doing that now? If so, how far back does the data go?
