The problem is that "reasonable, conservative" does not apply to the stock market lately.

I've been amazed at the consistency with which our stock takes a hit every time the company makes any kind of major announcement. "We made money"... stock takes a hit. "We lost money" ... stock takes a hit. The only thing that makes the stock pop (temporarily) is "we're cutting headcount" or "we're cutting capacity"
