First Call Controversy
In 2002, Thomson Reuters First Call, a research database that compiles earnings estimates by Wall Street analysts, agreed to include a broader range and interpretation of the judgment factors that analysts use to estimate earnings after complaints from several brokerage firms. The dispute with First Call became public when the Wall Street Journal reported that First Call had removed Schroeder’s estimate on Chubb Insurance from the database after Schroeder refused to raise her estimate on Chubb to match that of other analysts.

Famous quotes containing the words call and/or controversy:
“... in writing you cannot possibly be interesting if what you say is not true, if it is what I call “a true lie,” i.e., a truth which gives the wrong impression. For no matter how subtly you lie in writing, people know it and don’t believe you, and the whole secret of being interesting is to be believed.”
—Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
“Ours was a highly activist administration, with a lot of controversy involved ... but I’m not sure that it would be inconsistent with my own political nature to do it differently if I had it to do all over again.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
