Mike, TWE insider owner 88% (333M shares) is Toronto Dominion (TD)bank, which issued the Limited Public Offering of TWE, 42M shares. Here is the reason the OLB's are getting hit today..(source EarningsWhispers.com) E*Trade (EGRP) likely needs to beat the estimates to quiet a report by Barron?s over the weekend that suggested there would be a slowdown in online broker stocks and the Earnings Whisper number of a $0.07 loss indicates that they will. The consensus estimate is for a loss of $0.10 but the estimates among the 11 analysts range from a loss of $0.14 to a profit of $0.07. The consensus estimate has gradually fallen from a loss of $0.01 to its current number. Kevin Sullivan at Lehman Brothers is among those that believe the company will surprise the consensus estimate and there has been continued support for the Earnings Whisper number after Ameritrade beat the estimate by two cents and the Earnings Whisper number by a penny last week. However, the range of whispers is almost as wide as the range of estimates with some expecting a one cent negative surprise. Must go to Austin some day... N.C.
