RE: Q1 MarketsAgreed, Q1 should be between 50- 55 cents EPS, above today Analysts' consensus of 42 cents.
Obviously this does not factor in other surprises, like gains on sales of AFS bonds.
Remember also the Analysts' consensus can change the day before the release of Q1 report to reflect
MFC missing estimates like what happened when Q1 2010 was released.
Only my opinion.
