MarketHistory.com Adds Earnings Data Service to

Enhance Trading Opportunities

 

 

Houston, TX – April 19, 2004 --  Markethistory.com, a daily newsletter that generates trading ideas published by Logical Information Machines (LIM), a market leader in providing software and data to perform sophisticated historical energy, equity, bond and commodity research, announces a new service, Earnings Edge, that allows traders to see, for any given day, which stocks are scheduled to release earnings. Further, it looks at prior earnings announcement dates to determine whether or not there is a trade-able "edge" or a predictable seasonality related to the release of earnings.

 

Earnings (profits) drive stock prices, and when this information is released it can often be a trend-changing or a trend confirming event. Accountants at these companies have gotten very good at managing their quarterly earnings numbers, and as a result, the reaction in the price of the stock can become very predictable. The Earnings Edge helps the trader identify those companies that seem to have a consistent pattern of movement before or after the earnings release date, based on history.

 

“Most stocks don’t exhibit any particular pattern of movement around earnings dates, but those that do may provide some powerful trading opportunities,” stated Gibbons Burke, Editor, MarketHistory.com.  “Before the Earnings Edge, finding those stocks was like finding a needle in a haystack.”
