Earnings news:

"BOCA RATON, Fla., Dec. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Rexall Sundown, Inc. (Nasdaq: RXSD) announced today results for its fiscal first quarter ended November 30, 1998.

Net sales for the first quarter were $123.6 million, reflecting an increase of 12% over the $110.7 million reported in the first quarter of 1998. Net income of $11.8 million for the three months just ended declined $2.8 million, or 19%, compared to last year's pro forma first quarter. Diluted earnings per share for the first quarter were $0.16 compared to $0.20 reported in the first quarter last year, reflecting a 20% decline. "

Market reacted with a 2.2% gain. I figure that the upswing is due to the realizaton that the expectations were worse than realized; in other words, the bark was worse than the bite.
