Compaq's July 30 call and 27.5 put are both priced at 1/2 --- so if I buy both, it will cost $1, do you think it will move to $31 or $26.5 by July expiration ???

All the site is claiming to put forth is comparison of the consensus estimates and the whisper numbers. The whisper number on the street can be wrong too. Comparing reported earnings to the info on the site doesn't tell you whether the site is valid or not. You'll have to scan news reports to find those that mention what the whisper number was (which can also change before earnings are released...remember CPQ in October?!) I have no idea if the info they present is valid or not. Paul
