Pre-market has us at 65 ask. Once again, what are the analysts going to pick on? The "net gain on sale of investments" will be a big one--they will say that is the sum total of the earnings outperformance. They will NOT talk about the 21% rise in communications systems revenues with a dismal infrastructure number contained within. They will concentrate on falling prices, not rising volumes in handsets and ASICs. They will hammer on the 28% gross margins in Comm. Systems when they expected over 30%, but they will not account for that infrastructure drag again.
