>> Means I don't care. Meeting their earnings estimate is not a prerequisite for going higher. Look at BAY and DIGI!<< Then this is a replay of last time you went long. It was when the market was raising prices no matter how much a company missed it seemed. Even COMS went up a few points and hovered around 37-38 after the last earnings report. >> Look at BAY and DIGI! << BAY is going up becomes of the Network merging theme. DIGI was just bought out by Alcatel.(I don't know if they kept going up after the announcement.) CIEN went up also after the announcement, but hasn't moved much since. I don't know why you'd put COMS into this equation (at least yet), since there's not much talk about them being bought out...though who knows what's going on behind the scenes. Also, didn't you forget to mention ASND? :-)

>>Does this mean you think they'll miss earnings or you just can't call it either way? << I too have misplaced my crystal ball. However, with the news today about the "technology sharing" for ADSL with Lucent and NN, the enthusiasm about the future coupled with the recent beating COMS has already taken could lighten any disappointment missing the estimate could mean and magnify "good" earnings. (I apologize for the run on sentence!) IMHO of course. Keep the Faith!
