Straight from Benzinga newsdesk, hosts Brent Slava and Steve Krause bring you the market news and stocks to watch.

Steve and Brent focus on:

• where to find the info - BZ Pro News tool! for the filtered information, use SOURCE "BZ Wire." for the info from the companies (what we call the raw info), use either SOURCES "Press Releases" or "SEC"
• how to read earnings disclosures - look for the highlights at the top of a press release. look for bullets. if there arent bullets, scroll to the bottom of a press release... almost every earnings-related press release has the financial statements (income statement is key) at the very bottom.
• look for "guidance" "outlook" - forward-looking outlook can and often times is more important than the last quarterly results
• look for shareholder payout info - dividends, buybacks
• how to interpret results - odds of winning from earnings can be worsened because investors have to make a prediction about how a company will do with the quarter and how the market will respond. sell-side analysts can help with interpreting results <-- give us a shout on the BZ Pro newsdesk to try to get an angle on this.
