Timing of 4th Qtr Results For what it's worth, I checked back and found that the 3rd QTR results were publicized on Nov 14, i.e. six weeks after the Qtr end. They were interim (i.e. unaudited) figures.
Thus, it is highly unlikely that we will see 4th Qtr audited results before Feb 14. (Of course, there won't be any interims for the 4th Qtr.)
(You guys probably already have that all figured out, but we old 'uns take a little longer to work through these complex matters!)
Mind you, those "in the know" would have seen enough indicators to tell them what to expect even as early as now, so I would expect the share action in this week and next to indicate what the final results will look like when they officially come out.
It is next to impossible to keep everyone, especially those on the inside, in the dark until publication. There are so many people involved, and they talk or indicate by facial expressions whether or not the love affair is going great!
