broker comparisons

Dear All

I set out below the current broker estimates from Bloomberg. I appreciate that B's do not have today's changes but check out the obvious biases given that the current year to date earnings is around 50 cents:

Date Broker 2006 2007
19/9 Southern Cross 57.9 39.3
12/9 Merril Lynch 63.8 57.0
8/9 Austock 41.5 37.9
5/9 Citgroup 67.2 70.3
1/9 Goldman 56.7 45.2
29/8 MacQuarie 46.9 20.8
4/8 Pattersons 40.1 27.4

Sorry about the bad typing.

Regards Eos
