The company will not make its prior *revenue* expectations in the router area, per
the DLJ report issued Wednesday after a company visit and the company's tacit
confirmation in the Dow Jones newswire. The company did say it would make
*earnings per share* estimates and will grow earnings sequentially, but very
carefully avoided saying anything about meeting planned revenues or about how the
router product line is not doing as well as it had originally anticipated.

By not stating revenues, how does that imply a confirmation? I don't see the connection. The company did not specifically state it will miss revenues expectations. Does this mean that all the other companies in the world will miss their revenues and earnings expectations as well because they haven't stated their revenues and earnings? Isn't this what reporting dates are for?

The fools are looking like true fools here. They need to go back to college and take a course in English and logic to properly interpret English.

Gee, you would think that meeting earnings would be good regardless of whether or not the company did it with routers, switches, or a damn lemonade stand on Great America Parkway. It all spends the same to me.
Short of doing anything illegal, I don't really care what Bay sells to make money.

But I guess it just has to be routers for the Fool, huh?!
