Patrick,

IMHO It's not the earnings that really matter. It's the revenue growth and the margins. Kinnard may be conservatively estimating the cost associated with significant ramping of production. Or maybe it is a little more bearish on the Ancor story. Kinnard does have a hold rating on ANCR (in the $5s) so it hasn't exactly stuck its neck out. I also believe it is virtually impossible to build one accurate earnings model for a company in its early growth stage.

The Hendrickson regime has successfully managed Street expectations, deflating them quickly when necessary. Hopefully we have a case of underpromise, overdeliver.

If there is no leak from Ancor, we are a bunch of clueless including Kinnard, his guess is as good as mine. Sun rumor must have started from some kind of insider, which forced Ancor to make "an Announcement of not getting the deal". We are just a bunch of dreamers. We hold here just waiting for a deal similar to Sun's. For such a small company, a big enough deal will make it fly. If they can get it before this crazy market goes down.
