What do you guys consider reliable sources for consistent earnings information? How do you think about / handle the amorphous aspects of earnings?
I completely agree. What I ended up doing for the sake of time is just deciding on a site or two that I trust and only using the EPS number that they report. Primarily, I use the EPS that David Fish's CCC list reports and just know that it's from Finviz.com and is just gaap EPS. Knowing the limitations of gaap, I am okay with this.
