No. I didn't mean that. I meant for the public at large to be aware of it before hand, leaks from employees would be a factor. When a move is taking place that requires lots of Amazon's employees to be involved, rumors tend to get spread around. I know a couple people who work at AMZN and people who know others and I get a lot of rumors - many have proven to be worthless. Yes, the analysts are made aware of many things before they actually happen. I have played that game a little myself with CEO's & CFO's: "I can't tell you anything about agreements with XYZ Corp. but I think you will be happy with what we have to announce shortly." When? " . . . it might happen by the end of next week, of course I'm not saying that . . ." - that sort of thing. It's like saying "Here is the heads-up but you can't pin me down legally as having said it . . . (The CEO or CFO might think 'now you owe me one - let me know something about my competition or let me know before you issue the next change in recommendations').
