Not necessarily a joke, but speculation for sure. It seems obvious to me that a major goal for the quarter is to not show an operating loss. If they break even or make a penny or two, it'll be an upside surprise, which will likely push the price up another point or so. We'll just have to wait another 44 hours, but I have a feeling the string of negative surprises will be broken at 3. On the other hand (there's always another hand this year), I remember the runup in the price just prior to the April 30 earnings report, and the immediate fall beginning the day after.
