OT: Just for an example, look at another stock that we’re both in, UTEK.

They have real & positive earnings of $0.48 per share, but that’s one cent less than analyst guesstimates. Their revenues rise 22% year-on-year to 60 mil, but that’s a few mil less than analyst guesstimates.

The stock falls 17%!

Either we should just drop the whole system of estimates as a meaningful metric, or these dudes need a mandatory course in statistics! smile

All that is needed to make a happy life is within yourself, in your way of thinking. -Marcus Aurelius
