El: No, but it has entered my mind that the 15 cents would be achieved with the use of tax credits so that the actual operational earnings will be even worse than they appear now.

On the positive side, if the 15 cents includes a big one time charge for Brazil devaluation, I think that improves the quality of the earnings - probably by the 2/3 cents originally estimated.

Unless they are completely incompetent (I know!) I would assume that 15 cents is an underestimate. My revised EPS guess is 17 cents.
