Could be a bumper quarter. Back on topic.... How refreshing. Rather than continuing to debate the wisdom of using handwriting analysis to predict stock performance or pursuing discussions about how putrid INPR is as an investment, how about playing the quarterly game? What does everyone think the earnings will be? Also, does anyone know the specific day that earnings will be announced?

David: Thanks for the analysis. I hope they come in with an earning surprise. When VISX beated estimates its share price jumped $11. It was trading at $18 at the beginning of the year now it is close to $60. Lets hope that INPR does the same. The difference however is that VISX, PIXR ( Pixar shares did the same thing) are in niche markets. I think that INPR is also in a unique situation - however the market might not understand that and may consider INPR to be in competition with MSFT or ORCL and that could stifle share price growth.
