3rd Qtr Profit = $2.2 Billion
According to articles posted the pre-tax profit for the quarter is $2.2 billion. My back of the napkin math for the year puts us around $5.1 billion pre tax profit year to date. If we meet and do not exceed 4th quarter numbers from a year ago we will hit over $6.1 billion. So far this year we have beat last year on average of 25% ( once again a back of napkin math).
If we continue that trend we will see about $6.4 billion in profit for the year...it looks like Valentine's Day will be very nice this year. Looks the PS range should 21% to 23%.
