<<I finanlly got a return phone call from investor relations person and upon inquiry she flattly denied that they are guiding analysts expectations lower and said that only if they were guiding lower would they plan to issue an earnings warning.>> Not saying it's going to happen, Finder, but I know you're seasoned enough to have had the rug pulled out from under you before. "One thing's for certain; we'll all find out!" ; )

>>only if they were guiding lower would they plan to issue an earnings warning.<< You wouldn't expect them to admit it would you? They just tell you what you want to hear... <gg> Also, check out the contrapositive of what you just said: If A -> B then ~B -> ~A (from symbolic logic 101) Another words, if no earnings warning, then they are guiding lower.
