Amidst all this unbridled optimism, let me remind everyone of what Sun CFO Mike Lehman said in Feb. to TheStreet.Com: Lehman: ... For one thing, we have told the Street that our [revenue] growth rate will be higher than in the first half of our fiscal year, when it grew 16%. But analysts are already putting a 20% revenue rate out there, and that's a figure we are not guiding analysts toward .... (Excerpt from thestreet.com That sounds to me like an explicit backing-away from a 20% number. Remember treetopflier and Dale J.'s recent exchange? They're shorting the stock because of unrealistic expectations. They figure that with all the hype even a good report won't be good enough. I hope they're wrong about everything. Regards, --QwikSand
