zzaxx99 - put simply, what's driving TAD is the *possibility* that the company has the means to solve Microsoft's problem(and a problem for many others too) with software piracy. If that is so, then we are looking a huge, unanticipated earnings potential. It would also mean that brokers would simply revise their figures.
Can you imagine that the house broker would revise their own estimates *before* the company they serve had made the required announcements?
Thought not... :)
Brokers, unlike some TAD posters, are at least capable of revising their opinions!
