REMINDER: Forest City Enterprises Third-Quarter 2008 Earnings Conference Call
As Atlantic Yards Report blogger Norman Oder wrote yesterday:
The Plain Dealer pointed out that companies typically hold conference calls only for second- and fourth-quarter earnings reports.
So this one's special.

Atlantic Yards Report, At today's conference call, will investment analysts finally ask FCE some tough questions about Atlantic Yards?
Since investors and watchdogs are being invited to LISTEN IN to the conference call, there will be no opportunity for Norman Oder to ask questions. But that didn't stop him from creating a crib sheet for analysts who can:
At the conference call and webcast today, perhaps the analysts will finally have done some homework. I've provided a cheat sheet below.
The questions range from the timeline of the project in general, to the timing of the disposition of lawsuits, to the ownership of the land, to the suspension of work and the need for additional subsidies.
