the forecast eps are forecasts, though. and our ps will be based on the actual (pre-tax, pre-special charges) earnings, not calculated until well after Dec 31
Here's a question. Do the number of shares in the EPS change based on the stock buybacks we've been doing?
The actual PS number used is spelled out in he contract and it is calculated at the end of each QTR. So, we already should know how we're doing in Q1 and Q2 compared to last year.
