Sonki - I check the numbers reported down at Schwab. Their systems update earnings weekly (usually every Tuesday) if the consensus changes. Not all company estimates change. In fact some never change over the month or quarter. For example, MU is one that changes quite often. Last year they were as high as $1.60/share and by July 1998 they were adjusted downward to -$0.51! Their 1999 numbers then have been increasing to where they are now around $2.50/share. The MU estimates change quite often. It is in deed interesting how WRONG the analysts are with their estimates for this company! EKS
