December 18th: Extreme Earnings Expectations

A New Service of Winning, Intelligent Research

WhisperNumber.com recently released a new 'pure' earnings play service called the WHISPER REACTORS. The service provides those companies most likely to react to the whisper number - which simply means when these companies beat the whisper there is a very high probability of seeing positive stock, and when they miss the whisper there is a high probability of seeing negative stock movement. At the peak of earnings season this is a must have for any serious earnings trader.

Visit http://www.whispernumber.com/whisper_reactors.html for more information.
The following table highlights those companies with individual investor expectations (whispers) that will be reporting earnings over the next few weeks. (For a full list of upcoming reports, visit the Earnings Calendar link on the WhisperNumber.com website.)
