You wrote : I would say that anything over .39 would be a "Blowout number". With all due respect...Don't you think you are setting the bar (just a little too high here)...9 cents over consensus estimates (at .31 cents!) constitutes a blow-out?..100% EPS gain (for a company with a 20 Billion Dollar a year run rate)?.....Geez....I don't think any 20 Billion dollar (or 10 Billion for that matter) company has ever come close to that sort of quarter (if the company had regular y-o-y comps) That's simply too much....With all due respect, it begs the question, do folks (who believe this) actually read the financial statements or data coming from independent sources on the company/industry...No one would realistically say .35 or .37 was not a blow-out (knowing the business/industry) IMO, .34 or better will be considered a blowout...and rightly so...
