Yes, Malvern, I see your point, though I do think that two months into a fiscal quarter, a company has "actual" gross sales at their fingertips such that they're not dealing in projections for known historical events of two months. Of course, this is only the first week into the third month of the quarter, and that gives your semi-prediction of news this coming Monday some "legs." It takes time to create an analysis, even if dollar numbers are available in essentially real time.

Meanwhile, I'm trying to think of a time when the company had some unfavorable prediction or projection to present, and I haven't seen that yet. I think that credibility will increase when the company will have crossed the inevitable threshold of relating to the public that something not-good is going on or is reasonable certain to go on, as contrasted to springing a "negative" historical fact, such as a poor fiscal quarter, on the investing public.

I am hoping, in part for your sake as you are one of the good ones here (though I confess to chuckling just a little when you were writing about painting the ask at the end of a trading session in order to offset the downward manipulation that could be seen - even small acts of heroism are heroic), that the next news will be positive.
