    China;s President Hu Jintao had an eventful visit to Washington State, , from endorsing the java house Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX) as he sat with Starbucks Chief and visionary Howard Schultz to addressing software piracy with Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) founder Bill Gates, and we should mention that Boeing (NYSE: BA) didn’t do too bad either as Chin

The general analyst consensus was 43 cents a share.
