Not really. I think that people were expecting worse than they got. Instead they got a soft warning that sales were slow in Europe, and that the business as a whole was in pretty good shape. Thus the market moved up on the absence of bad news. Anyway, the stock moved down a bit today as the big brokerage firms ML, MS dropped estimates to $.32. I have been predicting that First Call would move estimates down from $.34 to $.32 before the quarter ends, which will make it easier to hit the target. I suspect that if the target moves to $.32, that's what they'll show. I think they would make $.33 if they needed to.

Anyway, what we are seeing is earnings estimates falling, but no downgrades. Thus I think that the stock will recover and I think that options pressure will move the stock to 45 by Sept expiration.

Now we're down to 41 1/16 on 3.5m. The traders all wanted to take their profits...
