Doug, >>Does anyone else think that it is somewhat funny when an earning estimate changes by 1 or 2 cents?<<

I think it is done to show how the analyst and his firm
have exclusive knowledge and analytic ability, as compared
to the rest of us slobs. It also brings their name and the
name of the company before the public.

Other than that it has no significance. The small 1 -2 cent
changes are well within the uncertainty band.

Yes, it's hilarious.
