WHAT ABOUT WLP - WELLPOINT AS ONE OF THE WORST ???

[Polaris]

How many times do we have to repeat that ISRG did not reduce guidance. DID NOT REDUCE guidance

They actually RAISED guidance. However there are seven analysts following this company - for six the forecast for Q2 sactered closeley around the mean. Only one rogue anal;yst had a wildy opimistic forecast. ISRG raised guidance above the average of the six sane analysts but below the odd ball.

In no way can thwsi be comsidered lowereing of the guidance

PLEASE in future get you facts sgright before myou sound off and damage the investments of honest investors - there are still some around.
