Daniel,

re: "And if they come up short, the analysts are allowed to treat it the same as coming up short on regular income?"

Yes, those are the rules. When they take a capital loss, it will count against earnings. I'm not sure that they haven't taken cap losses already in some equities, but so far they have been offset by their gains.
