Mile, I understand and agree with these projections, and I appreciate that they are conservative. You understand that I am simply saying we need to control expectations; our own and it would be finacially prudent to tone the expectations of others down, too. I think these dummies on Wall get whisper numbers from a combination of bulletin boards and management hints. Some of you think this is naive, but I have been on these and other boards for 5 years and I have no doubt they even get ANALYSIS from some SI posters. This stock is going to be incredibly volatile as it is, without us giving it a slight push. Management says .2375 for the q is what they are comfortable with .27 is VERY aggressive. We shouldn't discuss anything higher, even if we have our fingers crossed. I think they are managing earnings, so even if they could post .28, they may only post .26 and project 1.09 for the year. We are seeing posts as high as 1.50 on this board, which is close to nuts(and unless you are a momentum trader, won't help at all).

A stock with a pe of 120-130 on forward e is subject to temporary disaster on the simple PERCEPTION of a disappointment. My family and friends have almost a half a million shares in Q. I know this is going to continue to be a tough ride, even though it will be highly successful. Q isn't yet managin e like CSCO is so having 90% of ones net worth in Q is MUCH tougher on the BP than if this were csco. We all know csco will beat e by .01 each q for the next 5 years. We don't know that about Q yet.
