Vanni, it may be too late for you, but I believe that investors on this thread (and evidently others) don't mind what you say so much as how you say it. Your failure to understand this has lead to you spending most of your time defending yourself. Your claim that your posts are motivated by altruism simply doesn't ring true. No one makes friends by constantly saying, "I told you so", and bragging the way you do. Both Zacks and First Call both print consensus estimates. Yahoo and Briefing.com both print daily analysts revisions. DBC and Businesswire both put out new revisions as soon as they occur. My point is that this info is available from many sources besides yourself, so don't pat yourself too hard on the back for posting it here. One needs only to look at Zacks buy/sell recommendation to know the trend of eps revisions. Zacks probably had a sell recommedation on WDC long before you did. You seem to see yourself as some kind of white knight, but there be no dragons here. Those of you who have expressed an interest in investing based on analyst revisions should check out Zacks. They have a free 1 month trial. ultra.zacks.com Sincerely, Dana Breite

re>>This is now the third time I have called a downturn in the DD sector and warned people soon enough to get out.<< I would hardly give you credit for calling the downturn 3 times....there has only been massive downturn which has been going on for the last few weeks and has not recovered as of yet. Unless of course you are counting each and every day of the large downturn as a seperate downturn....in that case, I predict a downturn in the DD for tomorrow! Gee, I already know I will be right. We also already know that WDC is being downgraded daily...whether it be for $2.10, 1.84, 1.86 or even 0.0 for next year, it doesn't matter, the real news is out. Stock prices and earnings forecasts are not linear events. Do you think that if earnings are revised tomorrow to 0.00, that the stock will fall to $0???? Look at Apple Computer. Instead of trying to take credit for predicting things we already know about, it would be wondeful to hear some new information. thank you
