TSTC. If you look at quarterly EPS pattens for 2009, 2008 and 2007

2009 Q1 0.11, Q2 0.19 Q3 0.41 Q4 0.59
2008 Q1 0.08 Q2 0.17 Q3 0.11 Q4 0.32
2007 Q1 0.05 Q2 0.14 Q3 0.19 Q4 0.23

It is very obvious, most of TSTC's ernings come from Q4 and Q3. As they increase their guidance, I bet they count them at Q3 and Q4. This also kind getting interesting into how they get their huge AR. Q2 was hit with 127% increase of sales and marketing. These are the cost for revenues to be booked at Q3 and Q4. So short-term trader only focus on the big MISS may be "surprised" by huge beat in Q3 and Q4. This one is perfect for trading.
