News feed for *just* earnings announcements?

Quote from TM1982:

Briefing In Play is the best for earnings.

40 bucks a month.

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 it tough to parse just to get *exclusively* earnings announcements (which would result in false positives for my trading system).

The Briefing In Play has a lot more than that feed you linked. Lots of news stories during the day. However, pre-market and after-market are 90% to 95% earnings related.

I can't seem to find bloomberg's earnings-related newsfeed page. Can you point me to it?

Also, the column name "Expected report dat[e]" doesn't imply much confidence in an actual report occurring on that day.

Here is the Boomberg earnings calendar link:

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/ecal

But it is more or less the same thing as Zacks.

You are right about the precise time not being reported.

With regard to "Expected report dates", I think that a company can announce earnings anytime, without previously telling anyone when they're going to do it. This seems most common when the report is going to be bad.
 
Kartik… have you done any follow up on the symbols that typically get missed? Just a hunch, but they might be thinly traded, or penny stocks, or something you might not want to be involved with anyway. i’d say its pretty lousy if even the freebie sites miss announcements on major index components.

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 completely missing the earnings announcement -- it has it individually if you look up the symbol itself, but it just doesn't have it under its *aggregated* earnings wire for that day.
