Edward, I have provided a summary of estimates from First Call, I/B/E/S, and Zacks below. The First Call data came from AOL, I/B/E/S from quicken.excite.com, and Zacks from ultra.zacks.com. The data on Zack's website is the same as the data that you copied from Prudential's website. Recommendations: I/B/E/S First Call Zacks Strong Buy 2 Not shown 2 Buy 3 Not shown 2 Hold 7 Not shown 9 Underperform 0 Not shown 0 Sell 0 Not shown 0 Mean 2.417 2.6 2.5 Earnings estimates: I/B/E/S First Call Zacks June 98 qtr $0.09 $0.09 $0.16 Sep 98 qtr $0.23 $0.21 Not shown FY 98 $0.69 $0.69 $0.96 FY 99 $1.31 $1.25 $1.47 Notice how out of whack Zacks is with First Call and I/B/E/S? Zacks has always been behind them and I don't have much confidence in them anymore. They are too slow to update. I still maintain that Gruntal was just playing catch up. As I pointed out the other day, First Call has been at $0.09 for the current quarter and $0.21 for the Sep 98 quarter for the past two weeks. IMO, Zacks can come down to these levels with little or no impact on the stock price. Dan
