Mani Re: chic Re <<A few pennies to the upside is good. Fifty cents to the upside pisses them off.>> Oh please!!!! That is utter nonsense! So we should hope for $0.45 not $1.00? Mani, You left out the first sentance, they don't like big suprises, even if they are good. I know this is true. They like pleasant suprises, but don't like to get blown away. For one; it makes them look dumb. Second; If they can have a huge suprise to the upside, why not the downside? Bottome line, analysts want predictable results with a pleasant upside suprise. chic PS- I think Jerry has taken the perfect approach this quarter.
