Briefing.com receives research notes from more than 75 brokerage firms. We are able to use this resource to provide our subscribers live sentiment readings and thoughts on events as they occur. From earnings reports, SEMI book-to-bill and pending FDA reviews to legal proceedings, merger speculation and channel checks, Briefing.com is there to provide the thoughts of analysts as events unfold.

However, we use more than just analysts’ notes to keep our subscribers on top of developing events. Briefing.com utilizes an extensive network of buy-side and sell-side contacts to provide color on events as they play out. We put the real story in front of you hours before analysts publish their official notes. Through our contacts at major buy-side firms, our subscribers are in a position to receive information almost simultaneously as the largest institutional accounts out there. Our contacts are at the top of the analysts/sales-trader dial lists.

Why you need Briefing.com

• We don’t just provide the news, we also tell you why it’s important, what analysts are saying about it and key technical levels to watch as the event unfolds. Stop juggling newswires, research reports and other information resources. Briefing.com puts the information you need to know all in one place.
  
  
• Our analysis of earnings reports is the best in the business. We know which items are being included/excluded in analysts’ estimates. We also tell you when an analyst is taking an estimate above or below consensus, and when a company issues guidance on an earnings call or conference presentation.
  
  
• Going into earnings reports, we preview the major names. We tell you what analysts are really expecting for the qtr (i.e., analysts publish estimates of $0.30-$0.32/share, but really are expecting $0.34 or higher). We also let you know which numbers really matter for the qtr (everyone expecting in-line EPS, but margins or backlog for the qtr is the wildcard... or, company has a history of releasing meaningful guidance in the conference call, so be wary of trading the stock on the headline EPS/rev number).
  
  
• Briefing’s chief economist was recently ranked number six in the country in forecasting economic numbers by USA Today. Not only do we predict and report the economic event, we breakdown its significance. In addition, our contacts in the pits and trading floors provide live feedback on what the numbers mean to people with actual money on the line.
  
  
• Briefing understands that the name of the game is to make money. That’s why we have a team that is constantly looking to uncover money-making opportunities. Whether it is spotting a trend in an emerging sector (e.g., gold, medical devices, steel, nanotech, homeland security), or highlighting under-the-radar names with catalysts on the horizon, Briefing.com strives to put its subscribers in front of opportunities before the crowd and the media pick up on it. We stay on top of the developing trends, and alert you to stocks that are most likely to benefit from it.
  
  
• Our technical analysts are some of the best in the business. Don’t be caught guessing on a stock that is clearly exhibiting a classic bearish technical pattern. Know what the technical readings are before being side-swiped by a price implosion. Also, if you’re looking for trading set-ups on either the long or short-side, Briefing provides a list of such ideas each day. These trading ideas are accompanied by short-term price objectives and stop levels.
  
  
• Like to stay on top of the latest Rumor, Gossip & Innuendo? Briefing.com hears it all. That’s not to say we believe it all. But if a rumor is moving a stock, it makes sense for you to know about it. We also provide color on this type of information, using our network to determine: 1) just how wide-spread the rumor is; 2) if there is any legitimacy or basis for the speculation.
