Humble thanks, Skeptic, for your - as always - "the glass is half empty" point of view. Now, safe in the knowledge that you're vigilantly keeping an eye on things here - off I go to get some work done. Later, Svejk (GL-15 applies: digiserve.com ;-)

Skeptic did we listen to the same conference call? The question was at the very end? You say he answered the question asked as followed: When asked on the CC about the disparity in EPS estimates from $0.37 to $1.20 for 1998, he said something like "its just too hard to predict, anything could happen". The perfect response if you don't want to break the bubble but don't want to be accused of helping to create it either. What I heard him say is that they won't try to predict earnings any better than that wide range because they can't say for certain when contracts will be finalized. That's simply being responsible. I think that means if contracts come quickly we might see the high end or better. If not, well then we get the lower end of estimates. BIG DIFFERENCE Regards, Jeff
