Well, I guess it's kinda in the eye of the beholder. A loss of 3 cents is still pretty bad, but is essentially in the same category as a 4 cents a share loss. The key thing will be to see if the numbers change much before actual earnings. I guess it is a good thing that the "whisper" number is better than the consensus. That tells me that many think Ciena should do better than current thinking. However, if earnings come in below consensus, we're gonna get a double whammy, less than consensus and less than whisper. Who knows... -John
