I AGREE; WHAT A BUNCH OF CRAP !! PFE isn't good enough to be so incompetent. Bad report this time and I'm out of PFE and into MSFT. That's what I've been waiting to decide. PFE continues to do nothing while I've watched MSFT take off lately...bummer.

I think the earnings are going to be good because: 1) To report a bad quarter AND piss your shareholders off doesn't enhance shareholder value 2) Investor relations has literally told some of us to be "patient." You wouldn't tell someone to be patient if you've got bad news coming just around the corner 3) I interpret this cocky, "screw you" attitude as confidence. It will make any positive surprise that much more intense(like foreplay before orgasm) - They're teasing us I wouldn't be surprised if they lowballed the guidance for this quarter, because they know damn well that they can beat 17 cents
