618,

My 95% comment covers all companies and all management and all scanrios. You have changed my meaning sightly acordingly.

In its simplest form the little girl going home with her school report card:-

a) cant get home quick enough with a great report
or
b) drags her feet with with a bad one.

In the end its a human behaviour response to a given outcome and this simple.

Good management double check their results of course when they are outside of expectations or hopes whether they be better or worse. They uniformly drag their feet when bad.

I struggle to recall the last time any management delayed results becasue they were way way way better than hoped for and they needed to double check....and thus the 95% figure.

On STX, which I have follwoed for some time did not STX managment put out $2.00 a share valuations for NOW a few years back..... just like RFE and others.... who have done just as 'well'....
