As far as earnings estimates go, we redistribute the estimates from Reuters.
The estimates originate from brokerage firms, an analyst has to track a company, then the firm has to decide that they want to send the estimate to Reuters. Not all companies will be covered, and not all covered companies get reported. The coverage on smaller companies has decreased in recent years as cost cutting has swept through the industry. If you go to www.reuters.com and enter a symbol, and click go, then on the left hand side go down to estimates, and go there, you will see the same data that we have. Zack's coverage left a lot to be desired, I'll never use them again.
