RE:RE:QUARTER out this Thursday.... AND? I see it much the same as you do mrmoribund. If teh quarter/year prints well, then it's unlikely that an event would preceed the conference call. Let the results stand for themselves and keep another event for later. If onthe other hand, results are likely to disappoint, something announced beforehand would eb intended to offset. It may be all about the choreography (I don't have a read on the current management's MO on manageing the news tho).
The quarter may ride, to a large degree, on the mystery license announced on November 30th. If it was a major global player, it could blow the doors off the numbers.
