Manuipulation 101.. Is this course in Analyst School? Attention anyone lurking from Barron's, WSJ, or TheStreet.com.. How legal is it for a company like SBUX to be upgraded twice in some great bandstanding just 1 day before an earnings report. Better than expected earnings??? Last quarter they made $0.29 and now they are posting $0.18 and that is better? better than what?? So in real life, SBUX is a failure..for earnings momentum, revenue growth..not to mention one of the worst techical charts I've come across in this bull market.. Out of nowhere this chart that every technical indicator points at a continuation of the downtrend rises from about 24 to nearly 30 in two sessions! I'm not long or short SBUX nor am I a shareholder of QCOM save a small call position from yesterday and another larger call position from today.. But a lot of 401K plans were hit and shareholders of EMC,NT (which I do hold) QCOM didn't deserve that haircut while SBUX soars. I'm wondering if "the street" decided to give it an estimate of 15 cents does that mean SBUX would have reached a new high today because they would have beat by much more than "estimated".... My son is second in his class of 780 "graduating class of 2002"... okay he gets an award but it is the same award that the 'kid' whose grade expectations were lowered from "B+" to a "C" gets when he comes out with a "C+" . Does he get to be valedictorian because everyone expected a "C"? This whole system pretty much stinks and to punish a winner like QCOM and praise a loser like SBUX is very unfair.. or maybe some analyst needed to upgrade his son's prep school and a jump of 20% in SBUX was just what the headmaster at the new school ordered.. Starbucks to post better-than-expected earnings SEATTLE, Jan 25 (Reuters) - Specialty coffee retailer Starbucks Corp (NasdaqNM:SBUX - news) on Tuesday said it would post better-than-expected earnings in its fiscal first quarter when it reports its financial results later this week. Starbucks Chairman Howard Schultz said in a statement that the Seattle-based coffee retailer and roaster expected to post quarterly net earnings of 18 cents a share vs. the Wall Street consensus estimate of 16 cents. The company will release its earnings report on Jan. 27. In last year's first quarter, Starbucks reported earnings of $26.7 million, or 29 cents a share, before a two-for-one stock split in the spring

ROBOF this guy Greenberg is very bullish as you can tell by his optimism so you have to take his editorial type analysis with a grain of salt, but he's on top of all the new and older Israeli techs. But thanks to him I got on the bandwagon with BWEB, DOX, RITT, AMDN and ESCM and he's also been very bullish on TTIL.. TEVA, one of his favorites was part of a long term holding but the new ones are not taken up by Israeli mutual funds so quickly so you can miss out in the key movement (from 2 to 12 or more) He went ape last October with RITT's earnings report and his excitement caught on and RITT was up 4 fold since then. biz.yahoo.com globes.co.il globes.co.il
