I THINK WE ALL NEED TO WRITE TO SEC ABOUT THE WAYS THAT ANALYSTS CAME UP WITH OUTRAGEOUS WHISPERED NUMBERS OR DIFFERENT SALES FIGURES EVERY TIME TO MANIPULATE THE MARKETS. I THINK THE BEST ESTIMATED COMPANY'S SALE FIGURES SHOULD BE DISCLOSED AS GUIDANCE TO PUBLIC AT ONCE UNDER FAIR DISCLOSURE REGULATION THAT JUST PASSED BY SEC. EXCHANGE. THOSE DAMNED ANALYST MANIPULATORS ARE SCREWED ALL THE SMALL INVESTORS, BECAUSE WHATEVER NUMBERS THAT AN HONEST COMPANY REPORTING THE SO-CALLED ANALYSTS CHANGES AGAIN WITH A SO CALLED WHISPERED NUMBERS THAT NO ONE EVEN KNOWS WHERE THOSE CAME FROM & HOW IT ADDED UP. JUST LOOK AT NT SCENARIO, THEY REPORTING $7.3B WITH 18c NET BEATS BY 1c; SOME ANALYSTS' WHISPERED NUMBERS GO FROM $7.5B TO EVEN HIGHER $7.8B. THE FUNNY THING IS THEY TELL US TO INVEST & THINK LONG TERM; BY THE BOOK, PEOPLE DID THEN THEY SCREWED THEM BIG TIME.
