>>and actually i have liked the decreases better, knowing coms will definitely beat a lower number.<< I have this theory, that the ANALysts have been trying to lower estimates as much as possible so as to lower the stock price to a ridiculous level. COMS and the ANALysts have known they will beat all the estimates for the rest of the year handily. Possibly, this has been a conspiracy with COMS participating voluntarily or forced to do so. Anyways, the idea, is to let a whole new generation of "institutional" investors get in VERY EARLY. Then, the stock price will be walked up the ladder for the next few months. By then, LU will start making noises with it's buyout of somebody, and the entire telecom and network sectors will start converging, boosting the price of a whole new group of stocks into the stratosphere. So, as we have seen COMS at an embarassingly low price, we will one day see it at a grossly overvalued price for which we will see heavy profit taking. So goes my conspiracy theory.
