Well I guess my 3 possible scenarios are now narrowed down to one. Geez, why didn't these guys save up some Q4 revenue instead of blowing out their numbers in February? Still, I think if you look at MANU over the course of the year they'll be quite healthy.

I think the major damage has done. Big guys have already got out. This situation really reminds me of QNTM. After one blow-out earning, then came a warning. Next thing you knew was that the company had to record a net loss, and the stock price cut in half. The reason for these companies to give blow out earnings was usually because of the borrowing from the next quarter. This is the only way to explain it. I guess that is why people love MSFT, they always defer some revenue for the raining day. I don't have any position in this stock, but I do have one observation to make, which is the ANALysts of those big mutual funds ALWAYS know something earlier and only leaving the small investors holding the bag. With more and more people start to do the on-line investing themselves, I bet more people lose than win. Good luck.
