    "13.5% increase in revenue to $2 billion for the first quarter of fiscal 2008".

    Am I on the same planet as everyone else?

    ADP Up After Earnings Report But Still Faces Some Problems [view article]
    Float on payroll dollars? People choosing direct deposit hurting ADP? A comment like that shows your supporting cast doesn't understand ADP's business very well. Sure, there might be a little float on payroll/employee income, but the BULK of ADP's float comes from tax funds (SUI, FICA, Fed, State, etc.), not from employee payroll. Scott needs to read the reports better.

    Also, ever notice that the DoL has gone back and amended previous months, and most of the time they did, the revised numbers were very close to ADP's employment report trends? Of course, the pundits don't go back and look when that happens...

    Vic, I think your point is true. The facts that you presented are alarming! I find it hard to understand how the ritual of having corporations reporting earnings is not with new Federal Regulations? Vic your concerns are justified. I give my respect to you. Leo Surprenant Reply

    VICVW - what are you smoking? of course the system is rigged? that is the point. when was it not!
    and it is not just wall street, with crude at $78/bbl and milk at $6/gal it is out right fraud for the FOMC to be stating that there is no inflation
    but then, the FOMC members are merely the creation of the wall street culture

    I, for one, am opposed to the ritual of having corporations reporting earnings on announced dates. The only requirement should be that the reports should be no later than a specific period of time after the quarters. This practice only feeds into speculation in the options markets and encourages manipulation in the stocks. The only requirement should be that companies report after the markets close and they should not allow after market trading or pre-market trading on and after announcement days to allow all interested parties to have a chance to hear the report and digest it's significance so that there is a level playing field. Reports should be made as soon as they are available. Companies should warn of upcoming surpises to reasonalby expected results as early as the approximate magnitue can be determined and again the off market trading should be limited after these announcements until the public can digest the information. Further I don't think it serves the best interest of investors for companies to give guidance beyond what which they can be reasonably certain and that isn't very much. The notion that companies produce smooth quarter to quarter earnings is false and it encourages all kinds of creative accounting to produce these "to the penny figures". All this is a child of Wall St. analyst and the average investor is swindled into trading on this artificial scenario. Vic Reply
