>>Since the earnings estimate has hovered around .71, it looks like anything below $1.40 would be a disappointment.

Or is there a mistake in the numbers somewhere?<<
Steve-

I wouldn't call it a mistake without more information. One article on cnet making a casual reference like this doesn't mean much to me. You can think it's gospel if you like. The author may not have taken out taxes, and I don't know if the basis of the stock sold was subtracted.
If the net gain turns out to be less than 50% of earnings, so what? You have been telling us for weeks how none of this gain should be counted ANYWAY. Now you are saying that not only should it be counted, but it should be a disappointed even if earnings are, say, 1.15 exclusive of the gain.
Which rail do you want to ride here?
