Lurker,
Alright. So you are not exactly impressed with Ira. Let me ask you this....do human beings have the right to revise estimates? As mentioned before, the company is more interested in growing shareholder value. If you recall, the earlier estimates by Ira was BEFORE the Myriad transaction. In the long run, the company will grow those earnings through these acquisitions. Let me ask you this, Lurker....do you BELIEVE all analysts? What about the analysts (the professionals some of us base our investment decisions upon) that work for firms like JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley changing their estimates all the time after doing further research after discovering changes within the company structure they are researching.
Lurker, you need to relax.
And, furthermore....YOU are the one using those great adjectives for the "jerks" implied by Fairbanks of being evil,dastardly, bothersome, ill-mentioned, problem causing, etc. Please, please dont imply bad will unto other posters on this thread.
Have some candy
