<difference between the shares outstanding and float>

Shares outstanding is what you multiply with the stock price to get company valuation.

Float is the amount of stock that is in the market and available for trading.

To put it mildly, that would make your earnings estimate inaccurate ;-)

<<This may be a stupid question, but what is the difference between the shares outstanding and float? >>

Shares outstanding is the number of shares that make up teh company. The value of the company is shares oustanding * price of stock. The float are the number of shares available to the public.

Earnings calculations should be done with shares outstanding.
