I would normally agree with you (that the estimate cuts are not very meaningful), but the conventional wisdom (which, alas, is often correct) tells us cuts are a sign of more cuts to come. So while a next year PE of 15 on 40% growth sounds very cheap, the momentum types *assume* the analysts are going to find piece after piece of negative information, pushouts, etc., and have built into their models an extrapolation of future estimate cuts. So I suspect we're in for rough trading and a decline after every piece of less-than-perfect news.

Meanwhile, someone pronounced BRKS a model of perfect growth and it's worth 40% more than it was 10 days ago. Huh?
