SLOT does not seem to be reacting to the excellent earnings reported last week. The EPS estimates seem to show that the EPS came in only a couple pennies over estimates. Didn't the analysts revise downward after the Dec warning? I suppose this is a credibility / belief issue here. The warning added more risk to the stock, even if they later did make up for any potential shortfall. The street loves predictable consistency. Still, to drop it by 1/3 does seem an over-reaction. If SLOT had 50% revenue rise and 100% EPS rise, why are the 98-99 earnings predicted at only 15% growth. Are these new linked progressives just a short term gain, which will be hard to repeat with a new game next year? What PE seems reasonable to you? Breaking $90 this year seems to suggest something near 20. It's about 16.3 now. The next 2 quarterly comparisons look very easy to beat by impressive margins, given the last 2 quarters results. With relatively secure earnings growth, and a possible PE expansion, this is a stock to consider. I'll have a look at the SLOT thread. jg
