WHISPER...this is totally out of hand...the numbers are or should be given by the analysts that cover the stock...the traders have created these whisper numbers to create more volatility...it is such BS...companies turn great quarters beating expected numbers, fall short of some stupid whisper number that some idiot gets published and people want to talk about...I really wish everyone would get a clue, go off of what the analysts who cover the company expect and let the company surprise if they can... What I would like to know is why is it up to you to tell this board what they can and cannot say? This is a question that I have put in terms I hope you can understand!!!

I don't agree that the whisper numbers hurt a company. I think the whisper number is all about short term gain. Long term people will notice the 439% gain in revenue. jb
