Don & All, Regarding Whisper Number...

Called my broker regarding the whisper number. Here's what he said:

The whisper number is normally the high number in the range of the estimated earnings. For example, using First Call information...Dell's mean estimate is 46 cents...the range is 44 to 48 cents, so the whisper number would be 48 cents. The number of brokers giving estimates is 29, a large number of brokers. They sure are grouped closely together...within 4 cents.

My broker and I though this was a little low, especially when compared to what happened last quarter.

He said that he would have a better estimate on Monday or Tuesday. He told me to call back at 9:00am (PT) to get an update. He said that the trading on these days will give him more information on the whisper number. How this is accomplished, I do not know.

Hope this is of some help. Can anyone add any further information?

Stock Bull

PS: When I get more information, I'll post it as soon as possible.
