<...do read the comments as a platform to reduce earnings for 4qtr or a positive since TI was aware of problems already and still guiding analyists toward the .63 adjusted for split earnings?> I don't think anyone expected the severity of concern for the asian markets at the time this came out, and I don't know if, in fact, the company is "still guiding" analysts toward .63. Personally, I think they will either come in light, and/or if they DO make numbers (since they ARE big enough to "fill" any earnings gap if they wanted to rearrange some accounting,) they will sound further cautionary comments going forward. my 2 cents, anyway- Steve
