Be much more interesting if when an analyst guesses wrong, they get punished instead.

Every time something like this happens, I always ask myself: who the hell are these analysts and why are they picking such crazy unrealistic numbers? A company can have record revenues and profit and still get punished by the market because some analysts say they should've made more. If everyone ran their company for shareholders and analysts, there'd be a lot more Dells and HPs and less Apples and Googles.
