Hi Dan,
 
Yes, I saw that as well as Gary's explanation/excuse for why they can't provide the alternative info that is available.  Also the continuing discussions of support, whether QP is about to fail, etc. 
 
As you may recall, I've been with QP for years and generally defend them.  However for some of us old timers, the changes of late are not reassuring (and I renewed for 2 years this summer).  I only look for QP to be a reliable data provider and they have been good for that.  But there have been increasing problems of late and it is fair to question why. 
 
BTW, any guess on the original "Shares" vs. "Sharesout" question? 
 
And we should get together again sometime -- this year?

Patrick,

 

Hi.  I don’t know if you’ve noticed the posts in the QP forum, but QP’s data provider changed the definition of the Briefing field.  What used to be in one field is now in two.  Currently, they are providing only the financial summary in the briefing field.  The business summary is no longer being provided.   

 

Regards,

 

Dan.

Hi TaMeR,

 

Have you asked QP about their data?

 

OK, looks like there is a disconnect with QP data again (lately there have been several, the one that bugs me most is the Briefing field -- arbitrary and out of date often).

 

Don't know why there would be two fields.  Again, I guess you need to ask QP.

Hi NW Trader,
Sometimes it is but not always so it's got to be something else.
Besides why would they include the same data twice especially when there
are so many more data fields in QP which are not available on AB yet?
