Satish, I should have ended that post with a giggle since the post was meant to be a chuckle not a revised estimate of earnings. To answer your question I took the average over projection of earnings for the "Whisper numbers" subtracted it and if I went the right direction I would have a 2 cent loss for the quarter (If I went the wrong direction it would be a loss of 12 cents). I then took the average under projection of the analyst and added to the current estimate and got 6 cents. I didn't mean to leave the impression that I might know what I was talking about, just had time to kill. Sorry! skibob p.s. pathfinder.com
