In January, ARC issued a press release indicating that it will release its full year 2011 results on Feb 21st. On January 19th, we posted an announcement about a contest to “guess ARC’s full-year 2011 Sales Revenues.”
The table, below, shows you what “analysts” are estimating ARC’s full-year 2011 Sales will be (as per yahoo finance, Feb 9 2012)

Deadline for entries was February 7th at 5:00 pm. Per my blog’s Google Analytics statistics, 136 blog-visitors read the contest announcement, but only 5 people submitted guesses for the contest.
Here are the “guesses” we received.
|
$464.88 |
|
$437.00 |
|
$421.50 |
|
$421.00 |
|
$420.93 |
One of the entries – $421.00 – is, quite obviously, “boxed in” on the top and bottom. As a special consideration for that contest entry, if person who guessed $421.00 wins the contest, the prize will be doubled.
We will only announce the winner of the contest if the winner gives us permission to post his/her name.
In the table above, I included the column that shows analysts’ current estimates of ARC’s full-year 2012 Sales – I think their estimates are low.
