Beating by a penny doesn't mean jack either. I've seen a lot of stocks sell off with better margin between the number and the estimates. You may be pleasantly surprised tomorrow, but if you are simply short I wouldn't sweat it -- probably the last hurrah from them, BWDIK -- I didn't short 'em. PS I still think CLX is a great long term short right here. Today looked like a rather steep double top. (probably get broken tomorrow, huh?)
