That explains a lot DragonMan. Your error is that you are off by a factor of 1,000. (1,000 x 1,000 = 1,000,000) Since a trillion is a thousand billion (and not a million billion)we can see that you have been overestimating by a factor of 1,000. So, we take the prediction of $0.40/share by year end 2008 and divide by 1,000 and get 0.0004. You would have been right on with your prediction if you had gotten the multiplier right:)
