Here's an interesting article. ''All is fair in love and war and earnings estimates,'' Lehman Brothers Inc. analyst Diane Glossman said at the time. and "Similarly, a study of 101 high-tech companies' earnings reports by Bloomberg showed that estimates on Puls' EarningsWhispers.com and streetIQ.com were off by 21 percent, while the analysts missed by 44 percent." and In other words, everyone is still playing games with earnings -- and earnings estimates. With the whisper number now common talk, it may only be a matter of time before the guessing game rises to yet a new level. Ominously, traders now talk about trying to get a company official to tell them if the whisper is correct. What's next? A whisper on the whisper? quote.bloomberg.com Best wishes, I2 >
