Cont on EPS revisions.. >>So no, there isnt an exact correlation between the numbers and the assessment of whether its worth holding/selling/buying. << Well there is, Since if the EPS was revised upwards recently and the company comes in on target or at the old EPS then the stock will tank. And if the revision is downwards and te company meets or exceeds the target the stock might look better than it is. Perception of beating or missing numbers. This is why I was so confused that the revisions came in after the Q was over and earnings are comming out tomorrow for VVUS which was revised from -0.05 to -0.04 a few days ago. This would mean they would have a tougher time getting the perception they are doing better than the analyists estimated or previous information which had already affected the stock price one way or the other.

4/9 Watch List.. EFII 23.75 PMTC 31.187 re: SCOP - filled my limit at 19 3/8 yesterday, will sell at the open for quick profit since I'm in for "scalping" w/ this stock.. re: QNTM & TMAR - unfortunately, I'm still holding them (for loss).. QNTM might have a major rebound today (SEG &WDC did yesterday)..TMAR is holding on a tin thread, if it close below 20, it will probably retest its support at 18 for possible double bottom.. Last: >>>11:45PM<<<< looking at your "time" post, I noticed you're posting later and later these past few nites compare to your usual post before 11 pm ...with your busy schedules, how do u do it?.. ever think of retiring on your day job and becoming a fulltime trader w/ your yacht dock (w/ pretty women on board) at Detroit river overlooking the Renaissance building? :-) just a thought.. eL.. p.s.I hope your love life don't read this...hehehe..
