I'll ask you, if WIND had properly managed analyst expectations over the last 4 or 5 quarters and met or exceeded earnings as a result...where would the stock be right now? I have no idea and neither does anyone else. Over the short-term, the market is extremely fickle. You and I just see things differently. You feel that managing analyst and investor expectation is paramount for WIND management. My feeling is that WIND management should focus solely on the company's long-term position in its industry. Honestly, I would be very concerned if management would focus on short-term movements in stock price (of which they have zero control) at the expense of long-term business initiatives. Over the long-run, five to seven years, the change in stock price will roughly equal the change in the value of the business. Managing earnings and investor expectation is a folly because it is an attempt to manage something of which WIND has no control. Many companies has tried to do just that and invariably, over the long-run, they have failed. I take the near-term volatility in trade for the long-term success. Regards JS
