5 nets so far beat...XMCM beats.. SPLN 2 cents more (or less loss) than expected.. see below. Obviously someone, perhaps an analyst, was out to spoil the earnings plays for us this quarter. I never thought they were 'fairly valued' or not unextended, but I think it would have been a little more circumspect on Ms. Meeker's part if she had refrained from here damaging statements until AFTER the earnings reports. So now what she accomplished is she has egg on her face. The same thing happened with TXCC and that has recovered nicely and then some. I don't think analysts know squat more than you or I and they abuse their 'powers' by talking out of line.
