This is like going out on a first date with a girl, when you ask her for a kiss, she says "I will do it NEXT time". Apparently a smart girl knows how to play it well by flirting, that means he would desperately wait at home (not ATHM) and come up with a generous offer.

Why would they pre-annouce that something is coming rather than just release it all at once? Because it's more exciting this way for profit takers. The old rules about pre earnings run up and split are gone since there are many nuts out there have the same recipe. Remember split means sell. Sell everytime you make a profit. Eventually, a landslide for the bears is coming.
