mlsoft, you said >If he gives even a half-honest set of numbers and guidance, the revenues should be a miss and guidance should be down.<
I don't want to discuss whether Chambers will give an honest assessment or not, but...
...you have sources which say business stinks.
...Chambers has far more sources than you have.
