I put the facts of near term slowing growth together with the company reaffirming guidance to draw a conclusion about the rates of EPS quarterly sequential growth. I should not have done this. I also tried to explain to Steve 667 in the last two posts that I made a couple of errors. One error is that I meant to talk about the sequential quarterly EPS growth rate slowing from 54% to 24%, not the revenues. But even this is incorrect, because I was looking at EPS going from 37 to 46 cents per share, which was the analyst's consensus estimate at the time. But the actual company guidance, which I don't believe has changed, is for 48 cents earnings per share. This would indicate nearly a thirty per cent sequential rise in quarterly EPS growth, from 37 cents to 48 cents. This is still an incredible sequential quarterly EPS growth rate! www2.marketwatch.com vcall.com ssti.com
