My personal favorite is when a company meets or beats expectations and
their stock price goes down.  You do everything right but still wind up
being punished.

Ever notice what happens when Wall Street predicts X.XX% growth for a
company, and the company doesn't "meet expectations?"

It's the -=company=- that is blamed for failure.  In reality, it's WALL
STREET that failed-- their prediction was wrong!
