>>FWIW Earnings whisper shows the "whisper # at .50. We'll see. From here it looks positive even if they missed the whisper #.

I think that whisper number is bogus. When a stock is trading down 50% from it's recent high it must be because people feel that it is not going to meet estimates not because it is going to beat them.
Earnings Whisper = Estimate + 3c is a pretty stupid formula when applied blindly to every company.
