April 15th, 2008 (CNBC): Intel: As Long As Numbers Add Up, Worst May Be Behind
"To quantify just how much optimism there is around these (INTC) shares, look no further than WhisperNumber.com, which reports a whisper of 28 cents, or 3 cents better than the Street. That's a healthy whisper and not your typical one or two pennies. Whisper also says that Intel has beaten in 16 quarters, but met or missed in 18 quarters, so bet accordingly. It's just that after the volatility of the last quarter, Intel investors may not be in a betting mood, choosing instead to hold back and wait for things to turnaround more strongly."

April 2nd, 2008 (CNBC TV):
"Even though RIM beat expectations soundly, it didn't measure up to the whisper wafting through the Street, so that might be seen as a disappointment. How much? Well, the folks at whispernumber.com, who track such things, say that on average, in the past, with RIM falling short of the whisper, shares suffer an 11 percent decline over the next 30 trading days beginning with the open tomorrow."
