NW: I'm hoping the number will be in the high teens, .20 max., with some positive forward looking statements added (and not necessarily about AV; any news on AV should be saved for stopping the bleeding when the market corrects). Anything under .15 will be a total disaster. Punishment will probably be inflicted more for being stupid enough for having overestimated the revised number than for not meeting it. If the number comes above .20, tax benefits or not, the Street will get (re)confirmation that EP and EM have absolutely no idea about what the hell going on. Any initial appreciation in the stock price for a number above .20 will be short lived because of the flurry of lawsuits filed by those who based their selling on the .15 number. That would be a blast wouldn't it? ps: "Bravo" is a nickname I picked up for being pretty good at a particular sport in my younger days.
