I have one question about the earning estimate for the 4th quarter. We know YHOO reported earning of 0.15/share last quarter. If everybody is expecting a great quarter, why the earning estimate is only 0.16/share for the 4th quarter? A 6% quarter-to-quarter growth rate in earning is really pathetic when you look at the stock price. Also, 4th quarter is traditionally a strong quarter of the year. Can anybody explain this? I guess people are expecting a much higher earning number through the whisper number of 0.21-0.25 per share. What are the chances that YHOO will report earnings of 0.25/share? I think anything below 0.20 will be a huge disappointment considering the hype it has received from people like Mary Meeker and other YHOO bulls.
