well ABTL did beat the number last Q I ahh remember it well...I sold before the gap up...Those projections don't include the present advertising blitz...Also they were printed before the last Q numbers beat estimates by 20%...All the I-nets have been down the downside has been completely sector related...IMO

Mike, you seem to be having a bit of trouble with reporting earnings according to yahoo, they were +20.93% surprise not as you indicated and posted Last quarter they had a negative 20% surprise to the downside - so management is unable to control costs and analysts expectations have so far been way too high: Number of brokers recommending as: Strong Buy 3 Moderate Buy 0 Hold 0 Moderate Sell 0 Strong Sell 0 Average Recommendation (Strong Buy) 1.00 - 5.00 (Strong Sell) This Week 1.00 Last Week 1.00 Change 0.0 Earnings Per Share Last Quarter (Mar 1999) -0.68 Surprise 20.93 % Consensus Estimates This Quarter (Jun 99) -0.40 This Year (Dec 99) -1.72 Next Year -1.15 biz.yahoo.com
