I don't get it, what, are they too busy to announce the numbers? they must know what they are. Are they too busy for the conference call? Were they planning some big announcement that is ready yet or a deal that hasn't closed yet? Why wait til the last minute to postpone? I don't like it and know that uncertainty is usually not well received in the market so this really scares me. |
