Then by extension, all of corporate America must be wearing coke bottle lenses. Corporations live quarter to quarter, those that operate in a vacuum of investor and analyst expectations will get hammered. I've been there and lived it.

What are you trying to say, management should attempt to run the business in a manner that will maintain its stock price on a quarter to quarter basis? That would be corporate suicide. Management should only give very minor consideration to short-term stock price fluctuation in stock price and focus the vast majority of its attention on long-term business strategies and business value (not synonymous with stock price).

The market is very fickle and short sighted. Managing a business in a manner that attempts to appease a frequently irrational market is a sure fire way to go broke in the long run.
