I doubt they'll miss, with only a day or two left in the quarter when they made the announcement, and if they did, I doubt they'd drop another $12. Besides, I don't think they could legally miss at this point, at least not without warning first. This is a 103-year-old company in a business that is absolutely crucial to world GDP. When world economies turn around, this will be just a blip on the screen. In general though, and I'm not trying to be patronizing, you might want to stay away from margin. It's very easy to get killed that way.
