Apparently, we have the same cynical side. I, too, believe that comments that come out of analysts a day or two (or three) before earnings are due out, are nothing more than an attempt to manipulate the stock price in the opposite direction that the call indicates (either to get in or out of existing or non-extisting positions). Can't be anything else. They can't have any new information because of the "quiet period" and the new SEC rules. So, there has to be a motive for making the call. What's unique about this call is that it is almost a non-call. We don't change anything BUT the company MAY say something that we MAY or MAY NOT like.
