<The same thing, expectations come from company guidance.> They are NOT the same thing. The company gives guidance. The analysts may or may not come up with the correct expectations. It depends on how good their model is. <If you don't know this by now, you must not have followed INTC for long.> I believe you are the newbie here. The fact that INTC has not changed guidance does not necessarily mean that they have the quarter "in the bag". If there is SIGNIFICANT upside or downside, INTC usually pre-announces. If there is no new guidance, it generally means that they expect to come in slightly above or slightly below the mean estimates. <In any case, I bet that INTC will exceed expectations.> I also expect that they will beat estimates. < I hope I her from you when they exceed expectations. > I'll be here just like I have been for nearly 3 years.
