intheclouds, I'll reply bit by bit:
>> "Ask any marketing person and they will tell you, timing is everything."
A person saying so would be targeting a very short time span and possibly looking for P&D. Tomorrow and next week it will make no difference if this PR was announced 8 AM or 2 PM.
>> "Same in the market; if you want the shareholders to get the most bang for their buck you'll put out PR right before the bell or a few hours before the bell."
Then you are not talking about shareholders here. This is useful for flippers but not shareholders. On the contrary, a shareholder does not like to see his shares run at the open due to temporary uncontrolled pressure only to fall mid day. A shareholder would be a happy with a good PR any time of the day. This is again good, it says the company is not into P&D.
>> "Heck right after the PR came out we had what close to 16 million buys and only 5 million sells. IMO if they would of put that out this morning we might of not had 86 mil sells and could of been in the .0007 range."
I think BBDA had days with a better sell/buy ratio during the last week without even a PR so today's PR probably was not the reason for today's sell/buy ratio. Also I did not follow the trading at the end of the day but I think it slowed down after the PR so again releasing it before hours would not make much difference.
All IMO, GLTA.

Your money, your decisions.
