Re: "Elmer, there you go with your fudd again. I make this simple, here is how it works: Analyst are estimating the earnings to be $X, the company reports $Y, If X>Y, then company has missed the estimates If X=Y, then company has met the estimates If X<Y, then Company has beat the estimates This is what it means, I do not make the rules!" Mani you don't have it quite right. You have the analyst's estimates first. That's not the way it works. Intel says it will earn $X. The analysts estimate Intel will earn $Y where $Y > $X Intel reports $X, just like they said they would. This means Intel was right and the analysts were wrong. It's the analysts who missed, not Intel. It's really not all that complicated. EP
