no more free source even for earnings dates of publicly traded companies? poor countty...pathetic

I'm with Bob on this one

I was screen scraping earnings.com to put in my own database. Any other good website to screen scrape earnings, splits and dividends?

just look at a long term chart of the dollar vs. swiss franc if you want to see how poor america has become.

Bob, you can delete your post. why do so many fakers, with all the answers always have to ruin the few decent threads on ET?
I asked a question you dont have the answer...so dont reply. it's really that simple.

It's funny how wisdom on ET gets lambasted and garbage on ET gets many pats on the back. But that's like in real life. The good gets lambasted and the bad gets praise.

We live in a fucked up world.

Briefing is the only good source for earnings data that I've found. Free trial available.

yeah this might be the only option. I forgot that thefly doesn't have calendar(at least with basic subscription that I have).where they (briefing)getting it from? Thompson?
I would also check msn money(as far I remember they also repost the calendar from briefing) IB might have something too with their marketwatch subscription for clients.

I'm not sure what the source is but I know it's extremely accurate, never have found anything else that's even close to it.

can you describe the difference and why this is the one and only a good source for earnings date\time?

Thank you!

I was choosing the data source for backtesting. I checked out earnings.com, Yahoo and Briefing. The first two usually had the same wrong or outdated earnings date while Briefing was (almost) always kept up to date. Yahoo these days is certainly better than nothing but I wouldn't build anything based on their earnings data. This was a few years ago though, so maybe in 2013 it has improved.
