Loki, Well how about a method for taking the sting out of qtrly eps reports and warnings? After all we are in the era of real time sales forcasts, JIT, etc., so any measure that is derived or derivable from real time measures like sales, cost of goods sold, expenses, etc., could be reported on a daily basis... thus we could watch the numbers change each day and the entire market could react real time, thus taking a substantial amount of the wildness out of the specualtion. (anything expenses billed monthly or qtrly or whatever could be estimated and then corrected adn re-estimated and the end of the specific cycle (like phone bills, etc.). This would all shore up the options market as well and reduce the volatility (Beta) of each issue... Doug
