"Don't forget to include in your Q4 earnings calculations $35.6 million of premiums paid for early conversion of some of their convertible notes, which is around $0.10 per share." Yeah I know! No doubt, the $0.10 knock on EPS, although a laudable action by any other company, even though non-recurring, will somehow be turned into a significant negative by the naysayers in our midst! No matter though, as the naysayers are now hanging by a thread, one that will be snapped once and for all when Q4 EPS blows away the $0.19 consenses! (no doubt the naysayers will find other "Gateways" in Q1 though!)

That won't affect pro-forma earnings, which is what the estimates target.
