Earnings estimates for '99 are only 4 cents higher than '9 --- .65 versus .61. Some more revisions and they could be below '98 level. Only KEA and AUD seem to be doing well today. IMRS, MMWW, CSC, EDS, etc. are doing poorly.

ALmost jumped in this one but I got into TUNE and TFSM instead. Glad I did. They both surged into the close and SYNT went down. can't understand it. With the great news out today and the high volume to drop in price is baffling. Most be some big sellers out there who were selling into the strength. I think I'll wait on this one to see what comes up. DOesn't look too good right now from the action.

Dear Mex: Hey, YOU are the one who is supposed to tell us what is going on?? For me, a long term investor, this is just another buying opportunity. I think the problem is that the company may not be giving analysts enough direction. ie analyst estimate 58 cents for 1998 (we are nearly there already) and I believe 64 cents or something (just forgot exact amount) for 1999. Unless SYNT intends to suddenly do worse (which I doubt--see salesmen increase) I believe they will earn the 1999 estimate in 1998 and SUBSTANTIALLY exceed the 1999 current estimate. However, analysts seem to be down on the company, perhaps?? because Company wont give them enough guidance. Just my guess though. JDN
