Is Pairgain management BRAIN DEAD? Every quarter they have 3 months to guide analysts on the quarter earnings. Every quarter they guide them a penny higher than they actually earn. Then the stock tanks again. Does it take a Rocket Scientist to figure out a nice safe earnings figure and then guide the analysts a couple of cents under that? You take your hit on the stock at the guidance time, but then it goes up every quarter that you exceed your guidance number. It is utter stupidity to revise earnings down and then still miss them! And I know that Management didn't publically announce an exact number,but the analysts didn't just pick 7 cents out of the air, someone at Pair gave out this number. I am sick! Jim Ray
