Earnings estimates for 98/99:

On StockSmart (www.stocksmart.com)
98 2.58
99 2.92

Don't know where they get their estimates from.

-------------------
On Yahoo: (http://quote.yahoo.com/q?s=creaf&d=r)

98 2.53
99 2.86

(from Zacks)
------------------

Now I'm not sure that I saw that First Call estimate confirmed anywhere, or if I just assumed that if Chip/Yappyity posted a figure, they wouldn't be stupid enough to post a false one, but now that appears to be the case. I find it very unlikely that First Call would be so far off from these.

I went to www.firstcall.com, but decided not to pay for a report, as what they offer there is fairly useless - a report from some time in December. (And they want you to PAY for stale reports!)

dennis, first call has estimate for this quarter at .78. (high .86 and low .67). additionally, first call denotes no earnings estimate revisions, either up or down, in last 30 days. (this seems to conflict with some posts i've read on this thread recently). they have number of brokers covering CREAF as 7, and the analyst recommendation is 1.6.
fwiw, hope this helps.
