Come on folks. Scratch out some numbers here. What is your estimate of the EPS for each of the next 3 Qs? Use that estimate to calculate the TTM EPS. Now tell us what a logical PPS should be based on those numbers.

The money (or lack of) is probably already in the bank for this Q - not to be made public until January.

Do you see a continuing trend for a few Qs?

Fess up folks, this is not a short term investment ! Watching and speculating about the cause of daily ups/downs on the tape is nonsense.
