Now that earnings season is almost fnished, it’s time to start screening through all the fresh fnancial data to discover new ideas and clarify which stocks stepped into leadership roles based on their strong earnings reports. Plus, now that we are 60 days past quarter-end, we will start to see fund holdings data come in— giving us a glimpse into how the “big money” is responding to earnings reports and which companies they currently view as leaders.

The screens featured in this month’s Stock Guide will help you with an earnings and sponsorship review. You will also fnd a calendar explaining when key data typically gets reported. To provide a deep dive on earnings data, we’ve added a special interview with Craig Oldt, Vice President of Research at William O’Neil + Company. Craig describes the process his research team goes through to make sure the earnings data they report is the cleanest, best data possible. Because the data for MarketSmith is sourced from the O’Neil Database, you’ll gain a clear understanding of why MarketSmith members have an edge over other investors.

Finally, this March issue marks our transition from monthly publication to quarterly. Because we want to deepen the content of Stock Guide with new features like interviews, as well as consider a larger piece of market action in determining the content that will best help your investing routine, we are switching to a quarterly publication to help us achieve both of these goals. This new publishing cycle begins with our April issue. After April, your MarketSmith Stock Guides will deliver in July, October, and January 2013.

If you have any questions, feel free, as always, to contact our product coaches for more information.

Best Returns,

Your MarketSmith Team
