Re: 'Roast Trevor', Earnings

PuddleGlum, you wrote--"The Yahoo thread had a "Roast Trevor" series..."
which prompted me to look in over there for the first time in months in hope of getting in an abusive post or two (Trevor seems to know software, and I appreciate his posts, but he always gets my name wrong, which irks me. This thread is too civilized for me to tell him to "go be a nurse" like they do on Yahoo.) But I was too late; The Lynch-fever had died down.

I was surprised to see that there are now things worth reading over on the Yahoo RATL thread. Still lots of outlandish rumor and baseless speculation, but some good posts amongst the chaff. I hope those who read that thread regularly will repost the good stuff here.

PG, you also wrote:"...I've been pretty discouraged with RATL lately and ready to lighten up..." which makes me wonder: How many RATL stockholders are unhappy with the slowness of the price-climb, and planning to sell on a price rise following the earnings announcement? During the last few months several have posted their intention to sell when such an opportunity arose. Also, I think a TA person would say we will be hitting resistance a little bit up from here. So I expect we won't be blasting up to 20 this week.

After the last Earnings announcement we saw a small spike up in the price in the hours after market opening followed by a drop back to pre-announcement level. Then we resumed the slow climb (with dips and jumps now and then.) If expectations are met but not significantly exceeded, I would not be surprised to see something similar this time around. But what do I know?

Anyone else care to offer a prediction?

best regards,

diana
