I typically listen to the "live" calls on the companies I follow, but not so that I can ask questions. Why then? Especially when the recorded call is toll free? Couple of reasons. 1.) Sometimes sometimes companies fail to put the whole call on the recording (not that the kings of clarity, honesty and investor relations awareness at ATC would ever stoop to something like that... but it happens sometimes). 2.) It is interesting to watch the market move as the call progresses (though at this point, ATC has fallen so far down on the institutional food chain that a move in price during the call was highly unlikely). Nevertheless, anyone care to offer reactions to the call? Art
