Just what people make up "the street": the ones who set the amount a share of
stock should be each quarter...If the amount of a given stock or fund is a
couple cents lower than "the street" predicted,stock can take a dive & drag the
entire sector with it! Can anyone enlighten me?

"The Street" is the entire community of analysts, columnists, newsletter
writers, investment advisors, etc. Some of these people will follow a
particular stock and dispense advice (buy/sell/hold) based on their
analyses. The consensus opinion is what is usually referred to as "street
expectations" and such. Because people have acted on this consensus, they
have to react when it proves wrong.

After rereading the question and the reply, now I understand the question.
Simply put "the street" is - wall STREET.

In plain English there is no lasting meaning.

Answers written on a £10 note to this address please :-)

C is almost correct, if only someone hadn't already spoken for it.

Extensive empirical research finds [...] two relationships. First,
market prices respond to changes in a company's cash-flow prospects.
Second, market prices reflect long-term cash-flow prospects. Static
measures such as reported EPS or estimates of next year's EPS do not
capture future performance, [...] especially in a global economy [...].
Price-earnings analysis is [...] an economic cul-de-sac. -Professor
Emeritus at Northwestern University, Alfred Rappaport.

They, the Peoples Designare, are those whom marauding pigs didn't
trample, whose significance to that resilience is tangible market means
and measures their instruments embody. It is in earnest that you
undertake to share an arbitration, as an Impassioned Third Party and
Investor Entrepreneur Extraodinaire, such that and if in fact, any
given instrument subjectively is seen fit for correctional revisions
you deem most appropriate. Based in part on your revisionary stance,
you will choose an amount of wages, in amounts suitably sound to
commiserate a staged response, Mitigatory Seconds will then duly
dispatch, over the interplay of market dynamics you wish to unfold in
some enlightened manner.

It suggests that Flasho is either

a) A Jargon Synthesis computer program
b) Translating it from Japanese
or
c) Has been to too many management courses and has flipped.
