What I don't understand is if VISX earned .58 last quarter then why does every place I look show .29?????

I don't think the street reaction is related to the facts at hand. This market has traded on momentum for quite a while and investors tend to bail on anything going down regardless of the facts. VISX suddenly looks risky now even though the risks have been apparent for quite a while. Look at Dell. Number one in its sector and growing at a fantastic rate and it is dropping like a rock. Look at Pfizer. It has the best pipeline and current offerings in the drug industry and it is dropping like a rock. I could go on and on and list Microsoft, Intel, America Online. . . Being the best in a growing industry has no meaning in today's market. I plan on benefiting from other's stupidity. I will buy more today and will continue to buy on each drop as the same news is recycled over and over again.
