CD7 and the expectations game
It always drives me crazy when I turn on the business news and hear something like, "Megacorp Incorporated reports record earnings, massive hiring, and productivity gains. But since their earnings were one-twelveth of a point below expectations, their stock has tanked."
The expectations game. It's a tough one to win.
Prior to Senator John Kerry's visit to Denver, the Ed Perlmutter team was telling everyone they expected the Senator's endorsement. And they sort of got it. But all the Rocky Mountain News and Coloradopols are talking about is how, yeah, Kerry wants Perlmutter to win, but it's not like the Senator jogged around 16th Street in a fluorescent Perlmutter 2006 T-shirt.
Kerry is naturally reserved. Personally, I like that about him. I would have been shocked and disturbed if he'd jumped on top of a bench and started chanting, "Ed Perlmutter! Like a knife through butter! Straight to DC! It's Ed and me!"
