Market Psychology... >>>On average, due companies usually report good earnings before market opens and bad earnings after the close? I've always wondered if there was any significance to this type of timing. If there's no generally accepted wisdom on this, what do you think based on your experience?<<< ********************************************** Dave: It makes perfect sense to give good news the most time for market trading exposure, (Report in the morning)... It also makes good sense to report bad news after tne market closes to give people a chance to calm down... This decision by APCO to report early in the day does imply a positive earnings realease...
