The mid-Q update was on 8 Dec. It was probably based on 2 months of numbers, through 30 Nov. Typically in the 4Q, the lion's share of revenues are generated in the month of December.

RE: "those days must have been horrendous for them to be off by so much." I whole heartedly agree with you. The CC was in Dec, which implies the plummet had to have been extremely severe and sudden to take down an entire quarter, even when factoring in Dec usually takes in the most sales. And note how Apple's unit shipments dropped 16% QoQ (which is a large decline for QoQ.) Feds injected a bunch of money in mid Dec. Remember that? Am not convinced everything is okay. Conservative forecasts are probably in order here. Yet, Fed says economy is okay: biz.yahoo.com Stocks trimmed losses temporarily in the afternoon when the Federal Reserve's beige book showed economic activity increased across the country in the last weeks of 2005, but rising energy costs worried businesses in some areas Regards, Amy J
