I'm somewhat older than many here. I remember in the 1960's when McDonald's posted how many millions, then billions, of hamburgers they sold regularly on their golden arches. The number was used to entice people to buy. If they had said they sold 100 million burgers in one quarter, then showed a loss on their SEC report, then the SEC would have probably had issues with that. However, if the report showed they sold the 100 million burgers, and had profits that reflected reality, then why would they have an issue?

I'm sure there are a lot of companies that inform the public and investors how they are doing more frequently than every three months. Off the top of my head, the movie business reports attendance at each movie on a weekly basis. If you are an investor in Dreamworks, for instance, you can add up the attendance at each of their movies and come to some conclusions.
