Game plan:

A) Get the product manager who blew the original estimate to apologize profusely to the engineers.
B) Give the engineers a bunch of those really inexpensive stock options.
C) Watch the engineers work hard and get rich with the rest of us.

Stan - (So far, this is less onerous than I expected. So far.)

If this had been announced at the last earnings report, it would have reduced the jump in the stock at that time by $1 at most. The question is whether this is just the first cockroach in the kitchen.

Regards, Don

Confusing press release.

The title of the company press release clearly says "WRS Expects Lower than Expected Revs", then the text says "we believe that our bookings for the fiscal quarter will be close to or will exceed the consensus street estimate of revenues for the first fiscal quarter."

I guess $3M of their bookings are in the Tornado for Switches.

P.S. I thought the company had a 90 day backlog?
