You obviously have a lot of faith and confidence in the projections of the analysts. I have more confidence in my own estimates. That's what this is all about. Knowing when the analysts are wrong and right is how you make money. I happen to like it when the analysts are too conservative. When they get too optimistic, that's when it's time to re-look at things. FF

Chip, the numbers you posted for Zacks for the next two quarters are wrong because they do not add up. Zacks consensus for the year is 2.53. CREAF made .55 last quarter and consensus for this quarter was .77. That's 1.32 for the first half, which is always their strongest half. This means Zacks must be expecting 1.21 for the second half. Your numbers come up 30 cents short. In fact, Nelson's consensus for the next quarter is .61 and IBES is .62. And I believe Zacks is pretty much the same. This means the next two quarter should be should be just about even at 60 cents. Dennis
