Re: "preannoucement period....investor timing.."

In general, the preannouncing before the end of the quarter is usually bad news. Get it out as soon as possible, take your hit, but "show" that you are on top of the problems ( & preferably indicate your corrective action,etc.).


Based on the extreme volatility of the market, we may be witnessing a "first" by some companies - the preannouncing "of good news/earnings".
Yesterday examples of Intel & GE come to mind. Perhaps the best defense is a good offense - get the good news out to pre-empt the possibility of investors bailing out of your stock based just on suspicions (or in sympathy with a competitor in your sector's bad news).
