COST = disaster du jour trading 28 - 29 from 40 close on selective disclosure of lowered earnings expectations going forward I really hate selective disclosure .. the general public ( us ) is at enough of a disadvantage in trading as it is without having to worry about getting blind-sided by 'random' disclosures from public companies to the analyst community .. A very simple fix would be a requirement that companies only give guidance on their normal quarterly earnings release date .. That way, at least the average shareholder can, with a date certain, protect his position prior to earnings announcements and the 'poor' analysts might actually have to do some 'real' analysis of the companies/sectors they cover rather that rely on 'private guidance' spoon feeding from the companies they follow .. Jim in CT .. Not a COST shareholder
