FAQs
Are penny or OTC (over-the-counter) stocks ever recommended?

NO! Our screener makes sure they do not even show up on the list of stocks reporting earnings that day. Stocks with very small market caps and especially those with low volume can be easily manipulated and are used in "pump-and-dump" email scams. Although there may be opportunities with cheaper stocks, the risks outweigh the rewards in our opinion and we do not want to pass those risks on to our subscribers.

 

How does your service differ from stock picking sites?

Although these sites provide some useful information on how to screen stocks they still have the same issue and that is unpredictability.  Stocks usually move in the same direction of the market (i.e. A technical term called beta) and only receive their own independence during earnings.  Earnings is a constant (i.e. the date the report comes out) where as overall market direction, mergers and acquisitions, FDA drug approvals, and other important news items are unpredictable.
 

Do you change your opinion on stock picks after sending the newsletter?

No.  Our metrics are not updated daily which is the main criteria in choosing which stocks we pick during earnings season.  If we find out that we can update the metric daily and see reasons to change picks in the future, we will do so but for now this is not part of our system since stock picks are made 2 to 5 trading days in advance.  When we make a stock pick, we trust our metrics and the probability of being right with that pick.

 
When do you send out your stock picks?
We currently send out stock picks during the weekend before the following trading week.  The stock picks are from Tuesday to the following Monday so that you will have at least 1 to 5 trading sessions to build your position. These picks are sent out to all our existing subscribers at the same time and new subscribers as they join.
 
Does EarningStocks trade stock picks? Will stock picks be traded in the future?
We currently do not trade any of our picks and our commitment is to cap our future picks at only 5% of our stock picks.  We anticipate that we will not trade any stock picks until Q1 2010 but will always fully disclose when we begin.  Our primary focus is on improving the system and not trading.
 
Why the does the service cost so much?
Really the cost is minimal in respect to what kind of returns you can possibly make. EarningStocks's ideas are quick return money-making plays. EarningStocks is very confident the services will justify the price and that the subscriber will realize this over time.
 
Can I email EarningStocks for a little advice?
No. EarningStocks is not an investment house, neither a registered investment advisor nor a broker/dealer. EarningStocks provides accurate and reliable trading ideas which can lead to money making opportunities. EarningStocks is prohibited by the SEC to give ANY advice to ANY individual trader or investor.
