<<Do you mean that sometimes companies mislead analysts in order to cause surprises?>> There may be some of that, but I worry more about the estimates for the nifty 50(30?,20?). Wonder just how many had lower earnings year over year and met "estimates" but got worlds of great press? Wonder how many(non-cool)beat "estimates" and year over year and were never spoken of? And what of the "analysts"? How many are schills for their industries?
