Patrick,
I’m a bit concerned about QP, but
they do provide a good product in general.
Regarding the shares vs sharesout…
Sorry, I haven’t a clue.
I’d like to get together again this
year. Perhaps after the first weekend in December.
Best regards,
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.

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and out of date often).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?
