Re: Yahoo research person You said: Pierre-X, Yahoo research has recently shown a number of analysts moving down to "hold" but lists revised EPS at $2.34 "this year" and $3.12 "next year". It's a long way from $3.12 down to Zacks' $1.50 -- especially for a well-run company with an excellent brand image. Craig might I suggest you expand your research horizons beyond Yahoo. They update their research data every other full moon or so. <g> RESEARCH ALERT - Western Digital (NYSE:WDC) lowered Reuters, Tuesday, November 18, 1997 at 11:50 NEW YORK, Nov 18 (Reuters) - Lehman Brothers said analyst Kimberly Alexy downgraded data storage products maker Western Digital Corp to neutral from outperform. -- said company provided analysts guidance on its second half fiscal 1998 performance at the Comdex trade show in Las Vegas. -- Alexy said in summary report the guidance led to Lehman cutting its fiscal 1998 earnings per share estimates on Western Digital "yet again" to $1.60 from $2.00. Note the "company guidance" part. From the horse's mouth, they expect to earn in the $1.50 to $1.70 range in F98. I am not short WDC. I can't speak for the Zacks people. <g> I'm curious about why you think the company is well run. I personally think some of their divisions haven't a clue, like this SDX CDROM accelerator flop. But I'm open to evidence. PX P.S. Viewsonic rocks. My VS P810 is the best monitor I've ever used, and I've used a lot of other high end 21" screens like the NEC XP21 and the Mitsubishi DiamondTron 21.
