can companies exceed lowball estimates, and go bankrupt ??? yes, you bet, count on it such is the price that reality exacts upon deceivers this is the shock I expect to hit American investors with proforma earnings announcements still the mainstay with pension funds still unaccounted for, nay nay stolen from in order to keep operations functioning and earnings reported over analyst estimates with routine expenses set in the margin as "one-time charges" with mgmt stock options and compensation packages still ridiculously high with rolling over longterm debt extraordinarily difficult we might see companies like Ford Motor beat expectations and go bankrupt it will hit like a splash of cold water in the face on a winter day this is what I expect and I doubt they will exceed my expectations probably just meet / jim
