To kickoff the launch of SuckingLess.com, I’m going to feature some of the best submitted resources SuckingLess.com users are recommending. We kick off earnings season today with Alcoa (AA) earnings, so EarningsWhisper might be the most useful site overall for the next few weeks to stay on top of the barrage of earnings to come. If you don’t know already, “whisper numbers” are the more up-to-date earnings expectations instead of the out-of-date analyst expectations you find on a Yahoo Finance. Companies and their businesses are constantly changing, and Wall Street analysts and fund managers are constantly in-touch with these companies. However, the updated expectations only exist on email correspondence between the companies, fund managers, and analysts and don’t make it into the public. So, when a company reports earnings “Better than expected” and falls or “worse than expected” and goes up, it is because those “expectations” were out of date. Rather, the company’s earnings and the stock’s move was probably more related to the “Whisper number”. Check out my listing of EarningsWhisper at SuckingLess.com to learn more.
