<< If the 207M comparison is merely an editorial comparison by the news source, then Ruiz might have been predicted a total untaxed income of $1B. In that case, we've had $431M of pre-tax operating income so far, leaving $569M for Q3 and Q4. At a 20% tax rate (like Q2), that would work out to $2.54 for the second half and a total taxed Y2K income of $4.90/share. >> I would say "operating profit" takes taxes into consideration, or it wouldn't be profit. Besides if they meet their goals of 3.6M and 7.2M athlons in Q3 and Q4, that number should be very easy to reach. Also, consider that they're trying to build up this guys integrity here, they wouldn't want him to say anything that could be taken the wrong way, or turn out to tarnish his reputation, so I don't think they'd want to cop out on this point. Of course, so far it doesn't look like anyone has picked up what that means or has translated the numbers, so it will probably be forgotten by anyone not on the SI thread by the weekend anyway ;)
