Consensus Wall Street estimates for 1998 of $46.87 on the S&P, and most people think the third and fourth quarter still have to come down further. 1999 estimates have dropped hard in the last couple months, and now predict only 6% earnings growth to $49.73. And nobody is comfortable with that number. If you ask people what they really think, they're just hoping earnings don't keep declining through 1999.
