Business 2.0 takes a look at why all these analysts keep getting surprised. Sure, they pumped the market up, and when things turned around, earnings "surprises" quickly followed. However, it's been a while now and companies are still surprising the analysts. Analysts are blaming companies for not telling them what's really going on. Others think that analysts are lazy and aren't doing much real work to figure out what's really going on. Some folks are also blaming the government, because what's the point in playing the blame game if you can't blame the government at some point?
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
