The revised revenue projection is simply an excuse. Analysts are generally incapable of admitting they are/were wrong (i.e. thinking that multiples would forever expand), so they can't reduce their price targets from what were, from a long-term/normal market perspective, unrealistic levels without finding some justification that makes it appear the company has stumbled and they/we were, somehow, let down. Fundamentally, the company's position and outlook have never looked better. The only problem is that the market mania that took us to the $140s seems to have been the manic half of a manic/depressive disorder. JMO, Bob
