blank, I am so surprised you ask me this question. I can't remember the name of the analyst (ask joe). It's him who followed Eric B.'s direction to decrease 3Com's earning estimate, and that prompted a massive sell off by big institutions. Without his help, 3Com doesn't have a chance to beat the much revised down estimate.

Eric B. needs to do that to save his ass (3Com beats the number)but he lets small investors in the dark side.

BTW, did you bail out around $35 when the big guys were selling? if not, you know whom to blame on, right ?

Blank, having double check the news, it was the end of May, NOT last month, when Eric B. first told the analyst that 3Com couldn't meet the original estimate due to a flat revenue.
