You're still stuck on the success of the price of the stock rather than the growth and ultimate success of the business. The end result is much better if the business plan is followed. While the mental masturbations of the various analysts can send things into a tailspin, as has already happened many times, WIND just keeps on chugging along. I think they know what they're doing.

Then by extension, all of corporate America must be wearing coke bottle lenses. Corporations live quarter to quarter, those that operate in a vacuum of investor and analyst expectations will get hammered. I've been there and lived it. What are you trying to say, management should attempt to run the business in a manner that will maintain its stock price on a quarter to quarter basis? That would be corporate suicide. Management should only give very minor consideration to short-term stock price fluctuation in stock price and focus the vast majority of its attention on long-term business strategies and business value (not synonymous with stock price). The market is very fickle and short sighted. Managing a business in a manner that attempts to appease a frequently irrational market is a sure fire way to go broke in the long run.
