No, I'm not sure.

They say they pull their numbers from Reuters. But they had the wrong numbers on another stock of mine.

Two strikes now.

There is this: Business week - 11 analysts

This shows -.06 as well?

Still searching for more. Your -.09 is the most common, btw.

May just be the luck of the draw on which consensus Knobias uses?

As does Forbes which uses thomson numbers

-.06 with them as well.

Hummmmm. This is kinda a hoot. Shouldn't they all have the same number and not be mixed between -.09 and -.06?

How does one decide which number to follow?
