>>And, I would really love to hear Rocky, Rod, & Jock's prediction on earnings numbers... << I can't speak for the other 2 mentioned, but my WAG is to split the difference of the pre-announced losses and come in at a loss of (-$16 Million) meaning a (-.06›)/share earnings. This number will give IOM a PE of 17.8 at $4.80/share after the new earnings are factored in. What is interesting is that even if IOM breaks even, the PE will be 14.6, which is awfully close to my prediction of 15.

The "official" figure is -0.06 and the "whisper" seems to be -0.03. I take it to mean that the street will punish IOM if it comes in at -0.06, which I take to be the likelier of the two numbers. FM
