Great Earnings Call Info Sources
Just wanted to share a few sources that I've been using pretty frequently lately for good information on earnings releases and earnings calls.
If you're like me, it's hard to make time to listen to the conference calls of all the companies you own -- or even just the quarterly earnings calls. A financial information website that I recently encountered for the first time, 123Jump.com, publishes exerpts from earnings calls and the key takeaways from the calls, as well as all the important earnings data releases. They don't cover all companies, certainly, but they cover a lot of the ones I'm interested in.
There's no substitute for listening to the calls yourself, of course, but if you're researching a company and want to see what the issues are that have come up on their recent calls, this is a great place to go and look into that quickly and efficiently.
Another source for a lot of this information is the Seeking Alpha network of sector and country blogs -- they run the China Stock Blog, Internet Stock Blog, Biotech Stock Blog, etc., and often include excerpts from analyst reports as well as transcripts or quotes from conference calls for many of the companies they cover.
The problem with diversification is that it's hard to keep a close eye on every company you own while also doing detailed research for the additional companies you're interested in buying. These two sources, among others, help to flesh out the numbers that you can get from Yahoo Finance or the superlative charting, data and screening info at ADVFN, and the commentary and writeups you can get from the Motley Fool site and newsletters and the various business magazines.
I read them all, as much as I can ... just thought I'd share in case you're looking for something to do this weekend!
