Question
I'm doing paper trading on historical stock data, and finding I could probably time my trades much better if I knew when past earnings reports for the stock were released, as well as a summary of those reports. Do you know where I can find such info?
Thank you!

Darrin,
I always look to google or yahoo finance for earnings data. They often have historical data as well.
However, I am not an information expert.
If you are in college, I recommend that you go to the university library and ask a librarian for help with financial databases. That will probably be the most useful way for you to spend your time.
Best,
Steve
