With regard to the wide range of analyst estimates of earnings ($0.08 - $0.20), does anyone have a list of the 6 or 7 analysts and their individual estimates? ADPT seems to have talked down Bear, Stearns and Robertson Stephens, but what about the others? Surely, other analysts have seen the downgrades, and have access to the same management discussions, so who's still holding onto the reported 20-cent estimate? Wouldn't they want to reevaluate, if only to avoid looking like a fool? Surely, nobody is really expecting 20 cents this quarter, right? Not that I'd mind, of course. ;-) As for conference call today, Charlie Smith has, in the past, posted his summary of the call and lately a phone number to access a taped replay, but I haven't seen Charlie post here in at least a couple of months. Has he disappeared from the analyst scene?
