First Call earnings are part of Quote.com's basic service. Is there anyone lurking who can look at that for us?

Zack'lowered HRBC (past week)from hold to sell. This was based on a lowering of the consensus 1997 earnings from $0.55 to $0.54.

EPS History

Fiscal 1st Q 2nd Q 3rd Q 4th Q Year
1999 N/A N/A N/A N/A 1.28E
1998 0.14E 0.19E 0.23E 0.30E 0.87E
1997 0.09 0.11 0.15 0.20E 0.54E

Note that the 4 qtrs add to $0.55. Anyway, I will be more than happy with $0.54 cents even though less will not be good for short term. Recent mergers often carry hidden costs, but the end result in this case is going to allow us to beat future estimates. $0.87 for next year should be increased during the first half if we keep the same marketing focus that is in place and achieve any economies of scale as we grow. Any objections to this projection?

BTW, my thanks to SI for the new Spell Check feature. Now they need to suggest correct spelling alternatives. No hurry, just a suggestion.
